In celebration of Arbor Month, the Lonehill Residents Association (LRA) planted 15 White Stinkwood trees on Leslie Road on September 12. The gesture is done annually on Arbor Day as a way of giving back to the community of Lonehill. According to the environmental manager of LRA, Nadeem Abrahams, these trees are indigenous and are preferred by the Johannesburg.
“This gesture we one very close to my heart because a greener community is always a healthier community,” said Abrahams. Accompanied by Ward 93 councillor, Vino Reddy, the event was a success. “We planted the trees and this showed the LRA’s commitment to the environment. They have been contributing to the wellness of our city and that is always appreciated,” said Reddy.
He further elaborated on how he got the privilege of planting the first of the 15 trees. Meanwhile, community members showed gratitude towards the gesture. “This does not only help the ecosystem, it also makes our city prettier because plants bring life,” said one of the residents.
