An Appeal to My Food Bag customers
Bushy Park Tarapuruhi Forest Sanctuary is collecting the wool insulation packs My Food Bag use for frozen and chilled foods to use as plant protectors. We are planning new plantings over several hectares extending our precious forest. Those wool insulations will provide perfect protection for our new plants keeping them moist and stopping them getting swamped by weeds and grass. Bundles of them can be left on the verandah of our Forest Manager at 15 Pitt St, Whanganui or if this is not convenient, phone 027 265 0082 and we will see what we can arrange for pickup.
