Come show your support on Spruit Day

All community members and organisations are encouraged to join the annual Spruit Day clean-up fun on 19 October.

Volunteers will help pick up litter, plant new trees, remove invasive plants along the river and make eco-bricks.

“The Braamfontein Spruit is the longest stream in Johannesburg with its flowing and surrounding beauty running through multiple neighbourhoods from Northcliff all the way through to Midrand,” said campaign co-founder Kelly-Ann Rock.

Bags and gloves will be provided; all you need to do is bring yourself, a hat, bottle of water and sunscreen.
