Nervous Waters’ Renovation Projects 2020-21

December 23, 2020 | Sophie Porscheng

While we wait anxiously for clearance from various governments about international travel, we have not missed a beat during the Covid 19 shutdown. Knowing that we would have empty lodges for some time- we pivoted with our staff and undertook some massive renovation projects. We have used this long break of many months to make a number of improvements to our programs and take on maintenance and renovation projects that have long been on our “to-do’’ lists.

See the following text and photos for a complete listing- but we promise you it is extensive and we want to thank our staff for pitching in and wearing some new and different hats!
