A hugely productive day at @DartmoorZoo today. Groups digging and laying drainage, replacing and improving a set of steps and also redoing the bug hotel at the zoo. An amazing effort and many positive comments from staff about our students work ethic and behaviour #thisisap

NCA students at @DartmoorZoo have today improved the drainage of an area of the zoo. The students decided to do this of their own accord by planning the job, digging trenches and then laying drainage pipes. A stunning day and brilliant work ethic #thisap
