The Bloomberg New Energy Finance, a division of Bloomberg LP, helped the Friends of the Liesbeek plant 40 trees and weed out alien vegetation along the banks of the Liesbeek River. The trees were donated to the organisation by SANParks tree nursery, based in Newlands. The Friends of the Liesbeek wishes to thank all the volunteers from Bloomberg for their time in commemorating Earth Day (which was on the 22nd April), by helping us along the river. In total, 15 Wild Olive, 15 Cape Holly, 5 Assegai and 5 Cape Beech trees were planted along the river from Sans Souci Road to the cleared banks opposite the Wild Fig. We look forward to working with all of you again in the near future.
Nobody said volunteering was glamorous, as this group from Bloomberg tackle weeds along the banks of the Liesbeek River.
