Dounreay Volunteers Improving The Path At Thurso
River
 Staff from Dounreay have
been assisting again in a British Trust for Conservation Volunteers
(BTCV) Project at the Thurso River. There were 18 staff from all
areas of the Dounreay site in total, split between the Thursday and
Friday. It took two full days to achieve their target using the materials
provided, although they finished slightly sooner on the Friday due to all
their hard work over the two days.
 Last Oct and
earlier this year the Dounreay team made fantastic progress with
improving/building a path alongside the Thurso River up from the second
bridge near the cemetery gates. This project was chosen with the help of
Tom Jackson as part of the long-term plans for refurbishment and
environment works along the river.
In the latest two days the volunteers did 150 metres of
path during the two days, which means 300 metres in total has now been
done, with a further 150 metres remaining.
Ken Constable, of Dounreay Decommissioning Group in DFR,
explained 'it is very hard but pleasurable and rewarding work and it's
good to be involved in a project of this nature that benefits the local
community'. |
