Over the last couple of weeks, our team has been able to finish a number of big projects thanks to volunteer groups. For the recent visit from Shire Pharmaceuticals, their local offices wanted to spend their first Global Day of Service at Drumlin Farm.
Tasked with clearing invasive plant life around the Deer Pen, a huge group of enthusiastic and helpful volunteers practically leveled half a football field’s worth of overgrown brush in a matter of minutes. Pretty impressive work!
As with the Biogen volunteers who came a week previously, many Shire employees have sent their children to camp at Drumlin Farm and have participated in numerous programs. For many, volunteering for the company’s first Global Day of Service was simply one way to give back. Not surprisingly, many volunteers admitted that their kids were rather jealous they were spending the day at Drumlin Farm while they had to go to school!
We’re just happy that another area has been cleaned up, thanks again to people who donated their time and energy to keeping our farm running strong.
And with that, a few photos to show you all of the wonderful work they did:
