Volunteer of the month – July

Congratulations to our New Zealand Couriers Volunteer of the Month – Karen Martin!

Karen, her neighbour Zoe Reeves-Campbell and their families worked on a section of Burnside Park opposite their properties. The banks of the stream were very overgrown with ivy, holly and various weeds and shrubs. They cleared two areas on either side of an access way to the main park, then worked with Council staff to source and plant natives, mulch and install a watering system in the area. Great work, Karen and Zoe!
