IN celebration of World Clean Up Day, the Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW), will team up with the Wilderness Leadership School to clean the Umhlatuzana River that runs through Kenneth Stainbank on Friday, 8 September.
CROW has seen many cases of innocent wildlife that succumb to their injuries caused by litter.

A Swift Tern was admitted to CROW with a fishing hook caught in his mouth. When the tern arrived at the centre, it was dehydrated and undernourished.
The CROW team managed to surgically remove the hook, but the tern was unfortunately too weak to survive the procedure.
If you would like to help CROW protect the environment and wildlife, join them at Kenneth Stainbank, a 253 hectare reserve established in 1963, on Friday.
