Durham Woodland Revival Project

​

The Skill Mill Durham have been undertaking a project for Durham Woodland Revival. Durham Woodland Revival is a Heritage Lottery Fund supported project that aims to manage woodlands and revitalise the forestry sector in County Durham. 

​

The ‘Sunderland Bridge/Croxdale and New Brancepeth Deerness Project’ aims to conserve and restore the network of woodlands and strengthen resilience against diseases and the effects of climate change. In addition, it will reconnect communities and landowners with woodlands, providing support to manage them effectively. The Skill Mill team are undertaking path clearance work and installing public walkways over water logged areas to improve public recreational access.

 

Peterlee Town Council 'Bring Back The Denes' Project

​

Brendan Arnell, Parks & Special Projects Team Leader for Peterlee Town Council, has praised the work which The Skill Mill Durham have carried out over the past year.

 

Brendan said, 

"We are really appreciative of the help that the lads and Peter have given us over the year and the “Bring back the Denes” project has worked wonders in the reduction of fires, vandalism and also in the reduction of litter we have collected, due to the cutting back of the undergrowth etc". 

​

There has been an outstanding effort from all of the young people involved throughout the project.
