In a bit of a bindweed
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Westbury Banks Nature Reserve in Haringey.
- Sunday, 16th of October 2022
- Led by Charlie Linton
Latoya and Charlie headed over to Westbury Banks Nature Reserve after first testing out the new Lordship Rec Parkrun route!
We met up with Jess and Adam from the Friends of Westbury Banks, and got to work clearing fallen leaves from the surface of the pond. We wanted to raise the water level of the pond too, but after the droughts this year, the water butt was low on water. We wheelbarrowed over what we could and we like to view it as a “pond half-full”, not “half-empty”.
Finally, we removed some bindweed that had been climbing up and taking over some rose bushes. Then, after talking about bees, giant worms and The Animals of Farthing Wood, we locked up the reserve and headed home.
