Thanks to the 10 wonderful staff from Western Water who approached us about doing a morning of volunteering, and then did so on Wednesday, 17 September 2014.

We cut and painted a mass of blackberry in various plantings near the weir at Ruby McKenzie Park, leaving six massive piles for Council to collect.
The Western water team were desk- and field-workers, and they worked cheerfully and tirelessly despite the thorns. We provided morning tea and feel well pleased with our end of the bargain.

Many thanks to Nicole Cooper, Senior Communications Advisor, for the
initiative.
