Modern Makers 2016 featured on Border Life
Just in case you missed it, our Modern Makers 2016 project was featured on Border Life last night.
The project which saw six young people from Dumfries & Galloway work with Sam Booth of Echo Living ran from January - July last year. The group worked collaboratively to design and build a bespoke bird hide for an RSPB reserve near Wigtown. The Border Life feature captures the bird hide's journey from Sam's workshop near Castle Douglas to the RSPB reserve at the Crook of Baldoon. You can watch it here, about 12mins 30 secs into the programme.
