Volunteering at Winnall

On the 8/9/09 we worked down at Winnall Moors with the Youth Volunteering Officer, Jamie Corry.

We met at Winchester Train Station as usual, there were a number of volunteers. The task for the day was removing branches from the willow trees so they don’t absorb as much water from the marshes. It was a hot day and we worked hard, so the breaks were appreciated but we still had great fun!

The Viva Veolia end of project conference is coming up in Doncaster shortly and there was a young man out on site today (who is also a volunteer) making a documentary for it. He was filming several of us and recorded small nterviews with us asking us to talk about what we do, how long we’ve been doing it for, asking which sites we’ve each worked on and what sort of tasks we’ve been doing. I look forward to seeing the final film! Keep posted for details of where you can see it...
