Recycled plastic fishing platform at National Trust's Blickling Estate
In our video (below) National Trust Ranger, Ash, explains how the Blickling Estate in North Norfolk saved money and time by switching from timber to recycled plastic wherever possible.

Changing to recycled plastic for things like bridges, pathways, fishing platforms and outdoor furniture has revolutionised this, with the added benefit of not disturbing the wildlife of estate with constant interventions.
