Berghaus gives something back
A team of volunteers from Berghaus recently spent two days at Glen Nevis helping the John Muir Trust in its vital work conserving the Highlands of Scotland at one of the country's most scenic glens.
The John Muir Trust was formed in 1983 and exists to protect and conserve wild places in the Highlands and the Islands of Scotland, as well as to increase awareness and understanding of the value of such places. Berghaus send a team of volunteers every year to help maintain the areas of superb natural beauty that the Trust owns.
The Berghaus team consisted of thirteen staff from design, marketing, retail, HR and operations who each gave up two days of their time to volunteer for the Trust. Each day the team had to make the 45 minute trek to start their work loaded with all the necessary tools. The first day was spent removing 700 metres of redundant fencing, and the following day the team worked through a thunderstorm to re-make some paths on the slopes of Glen Nevis using stone from a dry river bed.
Angela Turley, marketing communications manager at Berghaus, commented: "As outdoor enthusiasts it was a rewarding experience for everyone and was a chance to give something back to the places that have given so much to us."
