Tree planting and staking day

Regular mowing of the spruit area stunts the growth of new indigenous trees and shrubs. This inhibits bird and animal life. The mowing, including fire control, is the subject of debate. It will be addressed with in the ecology plan under preparation. Last year we placed markers at young plants that should be avoided by the mowing contractor.
This year we are doing the same and combining it with a tree planting exercise. Members are invited to join us - with your hammer, spade and refreshments!
We will provide stakes and some trees and need your muscle! Come and make your valuable contribution to the future of the area. Assisted by Adelene Loock and her team, we will place indigenous trees and plants in pre-dug holes. This will be the start of a process to redress the degradation of the area.

Donations of indigenous plants and/or trees are welcomed. A list of desired flora will be circulated in due course.
