Greatest thing since scythed bread
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Northern Slopes Initiative in Bristol.
- Saturday, 6th of August 2022
- Led by Phill Stone
We had a lovely sunny Saturday morning at the northern slopes, perfect weather for our usual tasks about the place. Though there was a change of scenery as we were working at the bottom of the slopes this time.
As we've been been coming here for over a year now, I have scrapped the barrel of clear scything puns - help!
Caroline and her lad went about litter picking, making the place look significantly cleaner, while Jason took to loppering and tidying a small pathway on the side.
Len and I returned to a spot we scythed clear last year, but had overgrown when we focused our efforts on the top side of the slopes. The plan is to make a new path connecting to Nover's Hill side of the slopes, and eventually turning the whole slopes into a wildflower meadow.
Next time we'll be elsewhere on the slopes (close to kingswear road) - waiting on the location, keep an eye on the site!
