It was thanks to a team of enthusiastic volunteers that Van Mildert Lake was once again revealed from its undergrowth. It took a handful of volunteers, a range of tools and a couple of day’s work, to cut down trees, weed, and tidy up the banks of the lake. With a ready supply of tea and biscuits, and a number of impressed student onlookers, it took no time at all to dramatically improve the appearance of the lake. With the weather also on side, the volunteers had a very enjoyable day and managed to achieve more than was expected.
With the lake being such a key feature to Durham University’s Van Mildert College, it is no doubt that all students and staff living and working on the site will greatly appreciate and recognise, the hard work and dedication of all the volunteers involved in this team challenge.
