York Tiny Forest

Goodgym have been involved in creating a tiny forest on Kimberlow Hill with donations of mulch from Holgate Allotment. The trees are fast becoming self-sufficient, but there's still a need for more woodchip mulch to keep their roots cosy during the winter, hold in moisture in summer and suppress weeds.

This is a 2 part task. Part one at the allotment should be quick, filling about 25 bags with woodchip and loading them. There's only space for 5 lucky folk to be able to hop in Tristan's trusty truck transporting the mulch. Part two at approx 18.40 - unloading the truck & taking the bags about 50m up a very muddy hill in the dark. Either by carrying or using a wheelbarrow.

Join us for part one or two or both.

Gloves and footwear for muddy ground & headtorch are essential as both task locations are unlit.

What3words locations for the 2 parts of the task are: Holgate Allotment https://w3w.co/ramp.breath.bills Tiny Forest https://w3w.co/silk.hero.elbow

Another task will be organised to empty bags and spread the mulch during daylight hours.
