Young Volunteers support FoSL

The number of FoSL volunteers has been bolstered over the last six months by a number of young people who have been completing the community service element of their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Charlie, Hannah, Hattie, Mimi, Stanley and William have worked on a wide variety of tasks including the renovation of a number of hides and painting preservative on fence posts.

Most recently they helped support The Great British Spring Clean (accompaned by Bob Sherren, one of our Assistant Wardens) to pick up litter on the reserve and the Aquadrome. This was a joint venture with Sustainable Three Rivers and proved to be a valuable exercise in reducing the amount of mess left by human visitors and so avoid it being ingested by wildlife.

A number of passers-by were very complimentary about their efforts whilst commiserating that the task is unfortunately a necessary one.

If any members are interested in joining other volunteers on our monthly work parties or know of any young people who also want to undertake a community service project please email warden@fosl.org.uk.
