2.1. 2 June – National Environment Week – 500 Trees

Third Evaluation

The final evaluation of the trees distributed on 02 June 2010 on National Environmental Week took place on 30 November 2010. FTFA’s Community Forester Solomon Mondlane met with the Community Educators before visiting 50 houses to speak to house owners and to take pictures of the surviving trees.

“I don’t think there will ever be a project as good as this one in Olievenhoutbosch. Thanks to FTFA and Audi SA for such a wonderful greening project in our community.” Said Sebendzile Dlamini.

“We will remember our hardwork when we sit under some of these trees that were planted during the year 2010. The year 2010 was a blessing for this community, and we are so thankful to FTFA and Audi SA for such an opportunity.” Said Ntomboxolo Poni, Community Educator.

“It is now up to us to take care of our trees. Audi SA and FTFA have done their part. The ball is now in our court. Each one of us has a role to play, and to pass our tree knowledge to the next generation.” Continued Ntomboxolo Poni.

Though trees are looking good, our community still needs to be environmental conscious. I believe that the Community Educators will continue to motivate the community to look after their trees and the environment using the skills they acquired from FTFA’s workshops; and the experience they have after working with FTFA for so many months
