A Tree Planting and Environmental Awareness Collaboration with the World Memon Organisation

A Tree Planting and Environmental Awareness Collaboration

Precious Tree Project is collaborating with the World Memon Organisation – Youth Wing Africa Chapter in a Youth Tree Planting and Environmental Awareness initiative in George Municipality. The initiative will be focusing on planting out a combination of indigenous trees and fruit trees at a number of primary schools and learning centres in underprivileged communities in the George Municipality. We selected TEN primary schools/education centres where we spent the day planting and discussing the benefits of trees. 

A really BIG Thank you to WMO – African Youth Wing for investing in our local schools and facilitating a journey  of opening the minds of these learners a little wider to the numerous benefits of trees and the importance of the natural environment in our own health and well-being.

Hoekwil Primary School Centenary Celebration

100 YEARS, 100 PRECIOUS TREES:

Hoekwil Primary school recently turned 100 years and in order to celebrate this huge milestone, Precious Tree Project, the staff, the school learners, their moms, dads and grandparents spent a day greening up the school by planting 100 indigenous trees and a large variety of shrubs around the school grounds.

We started the day with a short interactive group session on the importance of indigenous plants and trees – for animal, insect and humankind – then gave a quick demonstration on how to plant a tree to give it the best chance of survival.

A big thank you to all those who pitched up and pitched in to make the event such a memorable one for all.

And thank you to the school groundsmen and those school learners who have offered to maintain the trees and plants while they take root!

Hoekwil Primary School Getting Creative

School Educational Workshops and Tree Planting Programme: The learners of Hoekwil Primary School were enthusiastic participants in our School Educational Program. After the planting, they were all given the opportunity to represent their newfound knowledge in a creative way.

These are some of the many beautiful creative interpretations we would like to share. Thank you to the staff and teachers for all the input and who helped make this event possible!
