Shoreline Challenge: Schools encouraged to walk, learn and protect the coastline
The walks, organised with partners Boogie Babes, conservancies and NSRI, also promote beach clean ups and ocean awareness.
The Mzimkhulu Honorary Officers are calling on South Coast schools and learners to join this year’s Shoreline Challenge, a fun, educational series of beach walks from Oslo Beach to Port Edward.
The challenge is broken into eight Sunday walks, held closest to the spring tides from May to August. Walks start at 08:00, with registration and coffee from 07:30.
Principal Michelle Barker from Kokstad Junior School and her staff joined last Sunday’s leg and are hoping to bring their Grade 7 learners along next time. “If staff could encourage learners, it would be a great way to spread conservation awareness among our youth,” said Maxine Willemse of the Mzimkhulu HOs.
The walks, organised with partners Boogie Babes, conservancies and NSRI, also promote beach clean ups and ocean awareness.
Entry is R50 per walk. Schools, learners, and community groups are encouraged to take part. Contact Maxine on 071 517 6408 for bookings and details.
