“Have you created community connections with your local Scouts Group? Inviting the scouts to take part in various activities is a brilliant way of getting little tasks completed around your estates and parklands.

Take a look around and make a list of all those jobs that you just never seem to get round to doing. Then make contact with your local Scout Group and arrange a time for the members to come along and get involved with your outdoors. This is a lovely way to introduce young people to the National Trust, and all the incredible work that is undertaken to maintain properties, parklands, and areas of outstanding beauty throughout the country.

For a complimentary appraisal of your outdoor space and to ensure you are maximising it to its full potential, give me a call and I will happily help you by telephone or a site visit.”
