Forest Village Chapter One – Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

View Larger Image

On Saturday a wonderful thing happened. At 10am sharp an amazing group of people came together. Forks and shovels in hand, the team of volunteers (adults and kids) dedicated their time and energy to make a start on developing the new Forest Village for the school. We are stunned at how much graft went in and how much was achieved and at the same time, just how much fun it was! It’s amazing what a person will do for a fresh brew and a chocolate hobnob!

In just two and a half hours the area was cleared, blood and sweat was spared as the team got stuck into the brambles but thankfully, there were no tears! FROGS’ man Ted led ‘ORS’ (Operation Railway Sleepers) and did an amazing job. Others sectioned themselves off to clear and churn the area in preparation for the decking and bark to be laid. With help from the Foo Fighters and stories of antics from the night before (there was a party apparently!) the job got done and everyone kept smiling :). HUGE thanks to everyone involved for giving their time on Saturday. Of course, this is just the beginning! There is still plenty of work to be done to get the Forest Village complete but WOW, what a momentous start! We can’t wait for the next chapter!
