You may have noticed we haven’t had an Earthworks session at Treacle Valley this month. This is partly because of the Easter break but also because we needed to spend a bit of time getting our new compost toilet installed. We have picked a site on the northern edge of the wood so that there is an uninterrupted view over the village and over to Denbury Hillfort and Haytor in the distance. After some initial prep work with Emily and our students, Karl, Elaine and Rich have been hard at work this weekend and the toilet is ready to use as a result! It’s been a real team effort so thank you everyone for your work.
We have also ‘twinned’ our new toilet with a toilet in Nepal through Tearfund’s Toilet Twinning scheme, so a Nepali village has also benefitted from the installation of our loo! Rich and Elaine have a soft spot for Nepal, having spent some time out there in the early 2000s, so we loved to be able to support this brilliant scheme.
