A healthy band of 12 Goodgymers descended (or ascended more correctly) on Mousehold Heath on Monday night. We were soon giving our instructions from Will the warden who explained how clearing bracken from the Heath is an ongoing task which allows the natural grassland to recover and promotes growth of a wide range of species.

We were split into two groups, tasked with pulling up or raking and piling bracken with the groups switching at half way.

It was lovely to see so many members together at one task, hopefully a sign of things to come soon.

We left with a big area cleared and a happy warden, and for those who ran at least it was downhill on the way home!

Special mention to Bobby for inspiring the pun, and Emrys for being a very good dog
