Volunteer call for snow-raking extends to the High Country
To all South Island farmers
Federated Farmers and the Rural Support Trust are extending the call for volunteers to assist Canterbury High Country farms with snow-raking.
Volunteers from
outside of Canterbury can also call the Rural Support Trust
on 0800 787 254. Federated Farmers is further collating
volunteers via our 0800 FARMING line (0800 327 646) and
supplying these numbers to the Rural Support Trust.
Because the High Country can be treacherous volunteers will need to be experienced in working in alpine conditions and equipped accordingly. Conditions in winter are especially harsh so volunteers will need to carry a suitably stocked daypack.
We can also report that the call for volunteers in Otago has seen an excellent response and Otago now has a good number of volunteers. We genuinely appreciate the help of the media for spreading the message and the volunteers who have called in. The focus is now shifting to the High Country.
