Rosie helps out with brushing back the interior walls of the church and scraping paint off the windows to reveal more of the original,1862 leadlights. We are planning to brush back the walls to reveal brickwork, distemper and paint layers. Windows are to be cleaned and conserved in their current condition but protected from further deterioration by double glazing which will also help to insulate the church.
Rosie is a traveller from Scotland who has been spending time campaigning against old growth forest logging in the Florentine Valley. Rosie, and Nathan, heard we were offering casual work through the Huon Environment Centre, and the environmental centre is close to Franklin, and does an important job as focal point for the activists in Tasmania. They attempt to conserve the Trees whilst we try to conserve the beautiful church for generations to come.
