Sophie Nash is Project Officer for the Westonbirt Project. She organises the logistics of the project, working with architects and project managers for various elements to deliver the works.

Footpath to Welcome Building with a base layer of bitmac ready for the final resin bound gravel layer. The row of pipes mark the locations of our new bicycle racks which will be installed in the next few days. Some of the stone has been laid in the new parking bays. You can see piles of the Forest of Dean 'pink' stone which will be spread and compacted to form the parking bay final surface. This stone is used elsewhere around the arboretum for footpaths and roads. The footpaths from the Welcome Building and the new car park which will lead visitors to the Plant Centre. Part of our current entrance road is being widened to a two way road for staff and deliveries to use once the new car park is complete.
