| Wildlife seating project -advice needed
I am organising a team of people from my company to do a day's volunteering at a local school in inner-city North London. It is a primary school (ages 4-11) and they'd like us to help them get better use of their ecology garden. Some of this will be clearing the pond, cutting back some of the excessive nettles etc but ideally they'd like some seating (for up to 10 children) that ties in with the theme. We've only just got the brief and unfortunately as the event is in 3 weeks our contractors (we're a TV company) don't have time to build bespoke seating made into insect / leaf shapes. However I did think that perhaps we could use 'logs' instead (I'm thinking different heights, cut through horizontally to provide round seating areas). So my question is - has anyone done this themselves and are there any pitfalls in doing this? How do you ensure they are safe? Is it ecologically sound? And (bit of an ask this) does anyone know any company or organisation that might provide cut logs in the London area.
Apologies if this is an inappropriate post -just trying to get some advice to work out options!
Thank you.  |
