Six GoodGym members gathered at the Phoenix Cinema to run 1 km to Highgate Woods to meet Cindy the park ranger. It’s amazing to have this mature woodland in the middle of London and a privilege to help out. What’s extra special is Cindy takes the time to tell us about nature and what’s been happening recently in the woodland. It was interesting to hear that the strange weather had delayed the onset of spring and apparently it was all happening now in a big rush. Cindy chatted about the verdant, Hornbeam and seed distribution system. The miner Bee ( see photo of nest). The need to protect the ground from trampling feet with fencing and would barriers. Besides, a little bit of litter, picking we then proceeded to dismantle wood dens and create barriers to footfall around delicate bat nests and vegetation. It was all very educational and good fun in a beautiful environment. We were done after 3/4 of an hour and headed back to the Phoenix to finish at 8:30. We did a warm down and gentle stretch.
Thanks for coming running and doing some good. ( I think it was one of the highlights of my week!)
