Thanks to my pal Andy Peaden for facilitating a meeting between myself and a company called Skill Mill.

Skill Mill is a social enterprise which employs young ex-offenders, working on environmental projects across the UK.

This week we have hosted Skill Mill who have been helping with a couple of projects on site. They have been helping with our winter program of pond maintenance and also construction of a second island on Dunces Corner Pond. Today we built a temporary jetty to enable materials to be taken out into the pond.

I’m very grateful for the help of Jonathan, Josh, Leon, and David who have done a great job this week.
