To take advantage of the fine February weather, we held an
additional summer busy bee on Saturday the 16th of
February. It was a hugely successful day and over twenty participants
helped with a range projects for the animals.
Tasks included the completion and fox proofing on an
enclosure for Lewis the rooster, trench digging for a new ram water trough, the
construction of a shelter for the elderly cows, weeding the vegetable garden in
readiness for planting autumn greens for the Sanctuary’s forty ducks, scrubbing
and sanitising animal feed tubs and carriers and washing over ten loads of lamb
laundry.
At lunchtime the volunteer team were finally able to put up
their feet and relax while enjoying a vegan buffet, including satay noodles, veggie sausage rolls, amazing faux tuna sandwiches, choc and walnut muffins and
fresh watermelons and mangoes. The feast was followed by a Sanctuary tour
for those wishing to spend some extra time with the animal residents.
A big thank you to all our volunteers who give so much of
their time and energy to helping us help the animals!
