Off-grid Eco-friendly Woodland Classroom

Work to and landscaping around the Cabin has slowed while we work on raising the last few thousand pounds needed to complete the work required to finish the project. This involves:

• replacing the temporary security fencing with something more attractive
• adding acrylic sheets to the window lights on the external wall of the veranda to keep the rain out 
• designing and fabricating the parts needed to allow the end wall of the veranda to slide sideways
• fitting out the veranda and the upstairs to maximise storage and functionality

While we wait for the last of the funds to be raised, the team continues to work on smaller tasks both inside and outside. Over the last few months and now that we have been 'in' for a year and know what does and doesn't work, this has been mainly about making small adjustments. Inside, this has seen the largest movable wall in the veranda reduced in size to make it more manageable and some basic shelving and cupboards added to the kitchen. Outside, the large raised bed has been planted with wildflowers, the 'shower' shed walls have been repaired, the Cabin walls washed and the space kept tidy.

This report also celebrates the amazing contributions made by our dedicated volunteers, without whom none of this could have been achieved and a special mention must go to Brian, who has not only contributed to the landscaping design but has also taken on many of the practical build tasks.

We thank you for your continued support and hope that you will consider sharing this project with others who might like to help us bring the project to a close.
