A new beneficiary for our bramble clearance tonight - a primary school with a Forest School that had become a bit unfriendly with scrapes and scratches not part of the teaching plan!
We set about chopping away all the unwanted elements and stacking them in the brash pile so the wildlife can make new homes there. Machete-wielding was popular so we ensured people took it in turns with others using shears, secateurs and anything else that came to hand - even a lawn edger to reduce the size if the buddhleia in the too wall. Rakes, forks and spades were deployed to move the choppage (new GoodGym word) to the brash pile. To make sure the amazing playground is ready for the new academic year, litter was collected up in no-longer-single-use bags and hundreds (at least, it seemed that way) of tennis balls abd footballs were released from the bramble forest - along woth some GoodGymmers!
