Two Selcourt citizens clean island at dam

I take my Husky and my cross poodle for a walk everyday and on Saturday decided to go to our local pond area.

I discovered that there were special human beings cleaning up the middle island area and cutting down reeds and trees, as they were quite concerned for the birds hurting themselves.

They have taken the whole Saturday, out of their busy business schedules, to make our park a better place.

Justin Donaldson and Hennie Brits were knee deep with marsh water and debris and were continuously going to and fro in the little boat that Hennie purchased in order to clean the middle island for making it a safer place for our diverse bird life.

The bird life has incredulously grown in the past year, and if a camera photo could include the amazing sound of birds it would be a sound not to be missed.

Nature has its own music and orchestra.

he park seems more used now and there are more children also spending time on the various play items.

The gym, an amazing outdoor concept, which is also building communication and social dialogue within the working community at night and the mornings.

Selcourt can do with a little more friendliness and user friendly parks, so I nominate the two gentlemen mentioned the citizen of Selcourt of the Month award.
