George Municipality Parks and Recreation tree team engages learners at Blanco Primary School

The George Municipality’s Parks and Recreation tree team visited Blanco Primary School last week as part of the school’s Occupation’s Week programme. The visit aimed to raise awareness among young learners about the importance of trees and to provide a behind-the-scenes look at how municipal teams care for and maintain trees and vegetation.

Foreman Valdon Muller, small plant operators Awie Michaels, Msimelelo Mgongo, Mzwawupheli Thinta, and driver Daniel Busch attended the event, engaging with learners and answering questions about their daily work.

Sisanda Velembo, Superintendent: Parks and Recreation said the Municipality values opportunities to educate and inspire the next generation while showcasing the vital work being done to preserve George’s green spaces.
