Environment day
2010
This event is still in the planning stages
We will have a camping event and
associated non camping events over the course of a
weekend.
What we're hoping to do is have a
weekend where we will under take numerous tasks with the National
Trust. Cache in trash out and any other tasks that they can find
for us to do. So if you've got any special skills we'd be very
grateful of your help, if you're like me and have very limited
skills we'd be even more grateful. |
