Planting young trees is physically demanding. It requires constant bending, kneeling and attention to detail throughout the day. Our team worked together to complete more than 20,000 seedlings on schedule while carefully checking each plant and replacing any damaged or unhealthy stock to ensure the best possible results.
Harvest season is fast-paced, but teamwork makes all the difference. We communicate constantly, support one another and keep every bin moving efficiently. By staying organised and helping each other throughout the day, our team consistently achieves daily production targets while maintaining a positive and enjoyable working environment.
