Nursery gets a hand from Malcam Trust

The YEPT Nursery was lucky enough to have youths from the Dunedin Malcam Trust Conservation Corps (assisted by their supervisor, Garth Hassall) build two additional stand out boxes. The plants are placed on these boxes several
weeks before they are to go out to the habitats to ‘harden off’ (decrease watering) so that they are adjusted to similar environmental conditions they will be exposed too once planted.
This Cons Corp group of young men and women have been visiting the Nursery on alternate Tuesdays to also learn about propagation, extending pipes for our irrigation, and digging drainage ditches.

Many thanks from the Nursery staff for such willing and helpful workers.
