Tree Planting for Arbor month @ Suikerland Secondary School

A heartwarming day was spent planting trees at Suikerland Secondary School in Malelane with SACBW and SPEAR as the main sponsors of the day.

Various Lowveld companies joined in the tree planting for Arbor month as a token of offsetting carbon emissions. The school’s grade 8 and 11 pupils were treated to a variety of activities as part of the upliftment initiative.

The Kruger National Park K9 dog unit demonstrated how the dogs find ammunition and catch potential perpetrators, while Albert Smith, Section Ranger, spoke to the future young leaders about anti-poaching in the Kruger.

The Department of Environmental Management and Department of Waste Management also joined us on this day and sponsored recycling drums for the school. A special thank you to the Komati Group for sponsoring delicious oranges that were shared between the pupils.

Both companies that participated, as well as the school, had a wonderful and informative day.
