A crowdfunding campaign has been launched – with a target of £10,750 – to help rebuild the roundhouse for Abriachan Forest Trust's forest school following a fire.
A spokesman for the trust stated: "We are a charity, a social enterprise supporting all ages and stages of children and adults.
"Our lovely roundhouse, built by local young people, thatched with reeds and rashes, with more recent input from secondary pupils and volunteers, has burned down. So now, just when we are getting ready to start up again post Covid-19, we have one less shelter in which to tell stories, to use as a base for our nursery children, to inspire our pupils when finding connections with the first foresters and in their learning for sustainability.
"All the money raised will be used to help rebuild and thatch the roundhouse, as well as look after the woods, paths and to support our work with children and adults."
More than £850 has been raised so far.
