Lions club donate trees to schools

The Letaba Tzaneen Lions Club celebrated Arbor Week by donating four trees to Unity Primary School recently.

The club planted the tree together with the learners from Grade R to Grade 3.

The club also donated trees to two other schools the Nazarene Christian Academy and Woekerwolkies Pre Primary School.

According to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, this year’s theme is ‘forests and sustainable cities.’

The club has been donating trees and plantations to local schools for years now.

“Lions clubs International has a signature project, where they encourage all Lions clubs, around the world to plant trees in their local communities, within the month of September.

We see the tree planting as an investment into our future generations.

It is easy and immediate to cut a tree down, but it takes years for a tree to grow.

Trees also convert Carbon dioxide into oxygen, oxygen is essential for our existence, this is our way to try to preserve our plant,” explained Martin Froise, from the Club when asked why do they keep on donating trees.
