A survey of sheds identified many MENZSHEDs are involved with conservation activities – supporting habitat building, planting, and manufacturing rodent traps.
Sheds are really simple to work with; they are local community focused, have knowledge available and very keen to produce an effective solution.
Here is a selection of shed stories…..
