Year 9 students from John Ruskin school spent a morning learning about the project, in particular the work to improve biodiversity and habitats for birds and bats. The students, who are working on the their John Muir awards, found out for themselves how hard it is to make a nest out of natural materials – just using a beak or in their case tweezers! The session was rounded off with the making of 10 nest boxes for birds that will be put up at various locations around the catchment.
