This all formed part of Wild Coast Sun’s plans to observe Arbour Month which was in September.
Wild Coast Sun general manager, Peter Tshidi, said they are consistently looking for ways to protect their beautiful natural surroundings.
“Wild Coast Sun is committed to protecting the environment. The Group has developed a holistic approach towards making our business paths more environmentally sustainable. We integrate environmental management into sustainable business practises throughout the resort including sustainability. This coastline tour explores 80-million-year-old fossilised trees and deposits on the rocks, dating back to the Cretaceous period,” said Tshidi.
He added that recently 30 local volunteers joined the staff of Wild Coast in the annual clean-up event at the resort, saying that 25kg of waste was collected at Wild Coast Sun’s Mzamba beach.
Tshidi said various environmental aspects form part of Sun International’s environmental strategy, with an emphasis on food security, reducing water use, zero-waste-to-landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving electricity efficiency.
“Wild Coast Sun has been a family-friendly resort for 42 years, and as we hope to continue being a destination of excellence into the future, we must conserve our natural environment for generations to come,” said Tshidi.
