Living life on the sedge
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Ham and Petersham Sea Scouts in Richmond.
- Sunday, 10th of September 2023

On a baking hot morning we were thrilled to be shown to a task in the shade when we arrived at Petersham and Ham Sea Scouts, where Russell briefed us on the particularly invasive species of sedge that was taking over their grounds and blocking paths.
We got to work clearing it and filling the compost heap by the barrowload, with some of the group also lending a hand to refill on-site water stations the scouts were providing for the Richmond Run-fest event when they were in danger of running out.
We left very warm despite our shady spot, but satisfied that it was a much-needed task well done.
