NPO helps lay roots for future generations
One of the indigenous trees planted during this year's project included the fiery pepper bark tree.
A TOTAL of 188 trees were planted during The Kloof Project’s annual Donate and Plant Arbor Day project.
“There was a wonderful community buzz out there on Saturday morning, with the bonus of a light sprinkle of rain overnight just to give the new trees some respite from the heat of that day,” said the non-profit organisation’s Chris Dalzell.
The local residents said they looked forward to watching the saplings thrive in the years to come.

“For those children involved, to enjoy the fruits of their labour and a new appreciation of how trees in Kloof are there to create the special environment we all love,” he said.
The Kloof Project thanked Neutrog for the fertiliser, The Print Room Kloof for publicity printing and GwaHumbe Nursery and the Kloof Conservancy for supplying the large variety of indigenous trees.
