Welcome to Sharon for their first GoodGym task!
We were back with The Bee Sanctuary for their weekend volunteering session in Highfield Park. The weather was more mixed but thankfully the rain stayed away so we could continue with priming and painting the entrance gates. Sharon, Michael, and Ben completed painting the already primed fence to the one side of the entrance that after a couple of coats, was looking much more inviting compared with the peeling black gates from the previous week.
After a tea & coffee break, Sharon and Ben managed to apply metal primer to the remaining fence at the entrance, ready for a coat of green paint to complete the job in the none-to-distant future.
Great to be back to and to complete some of the painting tasks for the group. We'll be back, perhaps for more digging or heavy duty gardening tasks in the future.

We began as a small number of local people that wanted to clear away the litter and sow wild flower seed in a neglected area of our local Nature Reserve. We have become a community based volunteer group, with over 50 followers and registered charity that focuses on re-wilding and enhancing our neglected green spaces in our local areas. We want to increase biodiversity and create Bee and wildlife friendly spaces. Using 100% Community Energy, we encourage people to learn more about nature through their green spaces and gardens. We are creating beautiful, diverse and educational spaces, as well as providing advice and education about Bees.
