Trees planted to help replenish what has been lost
Local casino staff plant trees in celebration of Arbor Month.
To mark the start of spring and Arbor Month, representatives from Carnival City rolled up their sleeves and got digging.
They planted 10 buffalo thorn trees around the complex and handed a further 90 trees to guests visiting the complex on Spring Day.
Arbor Month serves to generate awareness of the devastating effects of deforestation and urbanisation on the environment, with the aim of encouraging South Africans to do their bit to help replenish what has been lost, by planting more indigenous trees.
“As with so many things, one person planting one tree will make little difference.
“However, if we all band together and plant trees in Arbor Month, the cumulative effect is meaningful.
“Tree planting has been a tradition at Carnival City for many years.
“We are delighted with our new trees and hope that we have encouraged our employees and guests to get planting too,” said Annemie Turk, general manager at Carnival City.
