We hope our efforts kindle a greater interest for our cause and inspire others to join us.
We are especially inviting people to join and take an active roll in the work of the Foundation, either as a volunteer, or as a “Friend of Lochnagar”.
Our duty of care in the first place is directed towards preserving the Crater in the state it is and preventing it from further erosion.
This way we strive to keep the Crater as closely as possible to the state it was in after the Battle of the Somme.
It also means ensuring, wherever possible, the site is safe and accessible for visitors.
The wooden walkway was erected as the undulating rim path was extremely hazardous (and with greatly increased footfall) was being worn away.
The entrance pathway and the walkway around the Crater now affords wheelchair users or those with mobility issues the opportunity to view the Crater itself.
The Friends of Lochnagar is a group of volunteers, who dedicate their time and effort to the cause.
The group consists of people of all walks of life and we are a tight-knit group that works closely together to achieve our aims.
The group is always in need of more volunteers. Especially young people are invited to join us.
