Details
We have planned a planting event which aims to restore a wetland in critically endangered lowland fynbos in Cape Town. The aim of the event is to demonstrate the importance of restoration, and create an opportunity for Capetonians to get involved in the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
Our event will be led by our 12 fantastic interns, a few of whom who have been involved in the organising and marketing, and will assist with running the event on the day. Our interns are supported by our FOTP IUCN Save Our Species project at Tokai Park. We thank FynbosLIFE for providing the plants.
People are invited to sign-up and select the number of plants they wish to sponsor. Our MAD event will kick off with a guided walk through the restoration trail at Tokai Park, followed by a demo on restoration planting and the unique species to be planted. After this, people will have the opportunity to plant their sponsored plants!
