Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
A beautiful morning in the park where Friends of the Field and Study Park (FOFS) hosted a successful community clean-up on Earth Day
Community members and learners from Redhill School, St Stithians College, King David High School Victory Park, and the first Parkmore Scouts took it upon themselves to make a difference on April 22.
Piles of trash were plucked from the Braamfontein Spruit, invasive plants were cleared from the banks, and trees were planted.
According to Rose Johnson, the chairperson of FOFS said, “Brightening up the play equipment with rust-proof enamel was sponsored by Morningside MICA, and visibility was restored to the park by Isaac Longwe, who trimmed the bushy low branches with the brand-new chain saw donated by Rolux.”
She adds that Mills and Otten environmental consultants donated safety gloves for invasive removal, and garden tools were sponsored by Lasher.
“ADT kept an eye out for everyone’s safety, and all went well. FOFS is eternally grateful for the support of the park-loving community in protecting, promoting, and preserving this magnificent park and its wildlife right on our doorsteps.”
