So, you volunteer to leave your home, to go and WORK at saving one of our national treasures, (car trashing aside!) this means NO pay, right?

That’s generous.

I hope you are at least being paid to publish these amusing accounts of your work because this sort of press is the stuff that will encourage others to participate or at least: to offer money to assist people like you carrying on the good work.

Great story, it just shows how much volunteers contribute to the cause. The electric fence part was a classic homer simpson tale, it had me in stitches. Keep up the good work.
Corey I hope you make some new friends.

Lead poisoning - crikey that could lead to infertility, and we don’t want that! They’re a threatened species. Please keep us updated on how the research is coming along…..
