Amanzimtoti Lions plant indigenous trees
The planting of the trees commemorates the club’s green heritage which in turn aligns with the Lions pillar of meeting humanitarian needs.
The Lions club of Amanzimtoti recently extended their environment footprint to 40 trees by planting an addition 10 indigenous trees at the Amanzimtoti Country Club and Conservancy.
The planting of the trees commemorates the club’s green heritage which in turn aligns with the Lions pillar of meeting humanitarian needs.
“We wish to challenge all service organisations or groupings to equal or better out effort in securing a sustainable atmosphere by planting indigenous trees during these challenging times,” said president of the club, Natalie Angelo.
Since the formation of the conservancy in 2002, more than 2,000 indigenous trees have been planted in the forest. The forests are an incredible way to preserve the heritage of a family, a group of friends or a company. Coordinator of the conservancy, Ted Holden, encourages others to support the initiative by either donating trees or cash. Once the trees are planted, a plaque in honour of the family is placed in the middle of the designated area. Ted also hopes that more members of the community recognise the importance of the forest.
