📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
This year, you will work on the Herse room at the entry of the Fort Liedot. The work consists of removing the vegetation on the whole room to begin masonry works. You will stabilise a part of the wall, taking it off, reparing the stones and rebuilding it. The other parts of the room should be joined with the chalk mortar. The technical leader will transmit you traditional masonry techniques which are exactly the same that they used for the construction of the Fort Liedot. Finally, you will proceed on the security of the place by building a wooden fence.
