Brockville - Almost 30 Procter & Gamble employees will spend June 23 working at the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority's (CRCA) Mac Johnson Wildlife Area here.

"The benefit for the conservation authority is that we accomplish a lot of work in a short time period," explains CRCA Conservation Areas Supervisor Stefan Foerster.

Projects planned for the day include: installing fencing; installing a new sign at the north entrance; painting; landscaping and some miscellaneous tasks.

This is the second time P&G's corporate generosity has assigned employees to help the conservation authority. Six years ago, P&G sent 250 employees to the Mac Johnson site and donated $15,000 toward the cost of project materials. This year, P&G is sending 28 employees and donating approximately $1,300.

"Another benefit for us is that some of the employees were unfamiliar with the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area before they came to work at the site," says Mr. Foerster. "Now, they are regular visitors and bring their families."

The Friends of Mac Johnson Wildlife Area will provide lunch for the P&G volunteers.
