Experience Durham build Wildlife Feeding Station

From an initial group of 3, Stacey managed to persuade a team of 10 from the Experience Durham staff to step out of the office for the afternoon and wonder over to Pre-bends bridge. Tracey from the Durham Cathedral Heritage Woodlands and Riverbanks briefly went over how to use all the tools and we made our way down to the riverbank to start collecting materials for the fences. With regular reassurance that we weren't actually going to kill the bushes and it would actually be useful, we hacked them back and took the collection back to the feeding area. Splitting up into groups we built a dead hedge to stop people cutting through to/from the river; firmed up the shelter; wired anti-squirrel feeding logs and created some food trees for the Chorister students to feed the wildlife. Hopefully the area will be thriving with small wildlife and not too many of the larger variety looking for secluded spaces!
