Gekco chair shared that the Spruit Day initiative was started in 2014 and grew last year to 28 residents associations and Special Interest Groups. She said a total of 851 volunteers who gathered at 16 different meeting points along the Spruit (Montgomery Spruit, Braamfontein Spruit, Sandspruit, Klein Jukskei and Jukskei rivers) collectively gathered 2 063 bags of litter, removed alien vegetation, planted 178 trees (both on Spruit Day and thereafter), installed 150 bollards and painted a jungle gym.

Residents are asked to bring gloves and a hat. Bags will be provided. All are welcome to join in.

When: 15 September from 9am to 12pm

Where: Meet at either Gracepoint Church, 125 Duncan Road in Glenferness Agricultural Holdings or Crawford Prep School on Scaeles road in Lonehill.
