Volunteers from DTZ in Nottingham joined forces with their
colleagues in Leeds to help preserve an area of parkland at Clumber
Park in Worksop, north Nottinghamshire.
A team of sixteen volunteers spent the day at the National
Trust-owned historic park where they were tasked with creating a
large soil and turf mound to protect an area designated as a Site
of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) from vehicle
erosion.
Following a briefing from the park warden, the volunteers
developed a plan of action to build the protective barrier. This
involved moving a large quantity of earth and erecting a fence to
protect the structure whilst ensuring it blended seamlessly into
the surrounding environment.
The end result was a 100m long barrier which will help combat
vehicle erosion at the 3,800 acre park which is home to areas of
woodland, forest and lakes.
"We really appreciate the help everyone at DTZ gave, we wouldn't
have been able to implement the task without the man power and
commitment of the DTZ team," said Roy Turner, Head Warden at
Clumber Park.
Gemma Eyre, Surveyor at DTZ in Nottingham, who helped organise
the day, added: "This was a great opportunity to work together and
achieve something that will help to preserve the beauty of the park
for future generations."
