We partnered with the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) in July to bring Fences to Farmers in Hawke’s Bay
Evergreen supported the Rapid Relief Team by contributing $173,000 to help them facilitate four Farmer Connect days in Gisborne, Wairoa, Hastings and Central Hawke’s Bay. – an initative that saw 300 local farmers get together at the Hastings Showgrounds, to connect with their community, to know they have support – and every farmer was able to leave loaded up with much needed fence posts, battens, wire and accessories.
Similar to the Evergreen ‘Hort Days’ the focus was on providing fencing and other goodies to encourage pastoral farmers off their land, offering the opportunity for them to connect with others in the farming sector.
Approximately 300 Farmers attended along with industry advisors and guests.
