Tasks include: - Construction of the bank box - Digging out and levelling ground foundation - Collection and sieving of soil - Litter picking NOTE: The kingfisher bank work area requires volunteers to cross a shallow waterway using stabilised planks of scaffolding, or cross the waterway in chest waders.
