Our History
Founded in 2024 by Andrew (Andy) Docherty; an Army Veteran and passionate dry stone waller.
Andy is a professional dry stone waller and is qualified as a DSWA LANTRA Level 2
W2R is in its infancy but is gaining momentum and growing every day - be part of our success. We have successfully completed events @ The Gordon Messenger Centre Lympstone and on the Bathurst Estate in the Cotswolds.
We are working with two charities in order to extend the 'offer' in Spring 2025 -
- GiveUsTime - focused on providing respite to veterans and their families
- Field Studies Council - focused on environmental education, sustainability and diversity
