Great effort by Fonterra staff at Long Point

Fonterra staff, from the Edendale factory in Southland,  planted 300 shrubs at Long Point on Thursday 17 November.

Despite a promising start to the day, (in spite of an atrocious forecast), the planters and Trust staff were eventually  rained off around lunch time. Some true grit and resolve were on display as the final few plants went in, amid the downpour!

The Edendale staff were planting at Long Point for the second time and are helping establish new nesting areas for yellow-eyed penguins in the Manuaka Beach area. The earlier  plantings are beginning to put on some good growth and in time it is hoped that with their  continued involvement the whole area will be revegetated.
