Boardwalk Construction.
With TCV Leicester Volunteers
At Millennium Wood Husbands Bosworth
Activity description
We will focus on constructing a 14m timber boardwalk across a muddy area (during the winter months) of the woodland/site trail. We will be repurposing timber from the site where possible to use in the construction process. This will be a simple construction process that everybody can get involved with and will contrast nicely with the much larger and longer boardwalk constructed here in February/March 2022.
