Our task today will be to improve the all-ability access trail at The Bog Mine site, with countryside ranger, Guy, and contractor, Paul, leading the way.

We have three projects lined up:

  1. Repairing fencing;

This is a great opportunty to make a difference to a much-loved, popular nature reserve, as well as to learn practical life skills, especially carpentry.
