Twice this year we have been the lucky benefactors of Fonterra staff’s hard work in our gully, as they worked on the steepest and weediest section of our gully restoration project. They gave their time and energy as part of the Volunteer Waikato Programme, working with gusto, determination and with a sense of fun as they weeded, collecting rubbish and planted native trees; making a significant difference in our gully.  It was great that the second team could see the area the first team had worked on and that they were able to plant in this area and that our students saw in action people giving without receiving.  We are very grateful to Fonterra for their commitment to our project and to the importance of volunteering.
