Volco held an open day on Mt Cargill on Saturday 1 December 2018 to raise awareness of the initiative to regenerate native bush. The trust’s aims were “to protect virgin and regenerating native bush” in properties owned by IVT and “to encourage good environmental practices” and sustainable living in the environment.

“We would like to encourage interested individuals and parties to support the work of the trust,” (Bill Dacker).

A recent Otago Daily Times article tells the story.
