Congratulations to our first clean up entry!

A Scout group from Bathampton are WD-40's first clean up entrant, in the running to win £500 for their group.

28th Bathampton Scout Group has cleared a garden behind their HQ, that was formally unusable.

With adult supervision the whole Scout group worked together to clear the overgrown garden and remove dangerous pieces of metal.

The Scout Group from Bath cleared the back border of old fence, trees and shrubs and hopes to have a new fence fitted in the near future.

28th Bathampton Scout Group said, they will coppice the remaining trees in order to encourage new growth and may plant new trees along the bank.

The group are in the process of clearing another border, which is made of a large earth bank and shrubs, and intend to plant daffodils in its replacement.

This hard working group is hoping to erect bat boxes and bird tables on a few of the older trees.


Great work guys!

  1. That is such an improvement. Well done to all of you. I think the idea of coppicing is great - maybe you can grow your own hiking sticks.
