Students from Kingdown School have worked with members of the town council’s grounds team to build nest boxes for use in the community.
The pupils helped to build six bird boxes to be installed in the Lake Pleasure Grounds.
“It was great to once again work with students from Kingdown School,” said a spokesperson from the council. “We enjoy sharing our passion for maintaining and improving Warminster as well as teaching and learning from the local students.”
Previously, students have worked alongside the council on various projects in the town centre, Grovelands, the Warminster Community Orchard and other public spaces in the town.
Sarah Miller from Kingdown School said, “Kingdown School is delighted to continue to work closely with the town parks service.
“They have been incredibly generous in sharing their time and their expertise with our young people. We are looking forward to continuing our positive contribution to the local community by getting duck boards built for the lake to support the local wildfowl population.”
The nest boxes were purchased by the town council from Found Outdoors. The boxes are a natural product, and hand-made from timber felled in their Wiltshire woodland.
