Million Trees Project
Stellenbosch Municipality commits to decrease its carbon-footprint, green and beautify all informal settlements in the Greater Stellenbosch. The project will focus on creating sustainable jobs and employing people through the EPWP programme. Great emphasis will be placed on planting trees, training and transferring of skills and using the public open spaces as an outdoor classroom using interpretative signage and environmental educational programmes. We aim to plant 12 500 trees and create 30 employment opportunities.
