Bristol Myers Squibb at Groundwork London

Bristol Myers Squibb spent a series of sessions at Wormwood Scrubs outdoor space. Amongst a wide-ranging series of improvents, BMS volunteer David Tyas helped create a nature trail through the woodland area. As well as improving safety and accesibility, this trail provides a pathway where dogs can be safely walked – without harm to them or the delicate bodiversity.
