THE BUILDING WILL BECOME THE GATEWAY TO A WIDER NETWORK OF ECOLOGICALLY-CONNECTED AND ENRICHED AREAS AND FORMS THE FOCUS FOR EDUCATION, ENGAGEMENT AND VOLUNTEERING IN AN URGENT BID TO RE-CONNECT PEOPLE WITH NATURE. WE AIM TO OFFER EXCELLENT ACCESSIBLE FACILITIES, INCLUDING A CAFÉ WITH STUNNING VISTAS ACROSS THE LAKE, SMALL SHOP, TOILETS AND A DEDICATED CLASSROOM. THE INNOVATIVE BUILDING WILL BE CONSTRUCTED FROM LOCAL MATERIALS BY VOLUNTEERS AND INCLUDE SUSTAINABLE FEATURES TO DEMONSTRATE ECOLOGICAL VALUES.
