Catchment Care is a nationwide programme run by Fonterra and non-profit organisation Conservation Volunteers New Zealand, which supports water-catchment-care projects across New Zealand.
Members of the public joined Fonterra staff at Waituna Awarua Wetlands near Invercargill and at Lake Serpentine near Te Awamutu in the Waikato, with volunteers rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck into weeding around recently planted native plants.
