It's been a busy week for our Education Depts. outreach team, as they have been actively raising awareness of National Arbour Week, by planting indigenous trees with neighbouring schools, educating learners about sustainable environmental practices and the important role trees play in our biodiversity.
The team has so far engaged with five local schools, being Ubhedu Primary, Khalawemuke Primary, KwaMyeza Primary, Ekwandeni Primary and Nkanyezeni Primary, with more school visits planned for Thursday (04/09/25) and Friday (05/09/25). As a part of the celebrations, each school receives a "Tree of the Year" which is planted on the school's premises, aligning with governments, "๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐." The initiative aims to benefit communities and refers to the planting and care of vegetation in urban and rural areas.
For this year's National Arbour Week celebrations, the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) have identified the ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ค๐ฐ๐จ๐จ๐ (๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐) and ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ค๐ฐ๐จ๐จ๐ (๐๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐) as the Trees of the Year.
