Thank you to @JoburgParksZoo & @JoburgMPD for your swift response - culprit apprehended & will face a significant fine. Sadly two street trees were illegally felled but your prompt action prevented the lost of a third! Kudos! #ProtectOurUrbanTrees

This is a great land, this land of ours. We will fix it. All of us. For within us is a greater dream than power, a greater desire than money, & a greater hope than the disappointments of today.
Tomorrow we rise again to build our dreams, desires & hopes. Rest South Africa, rest.

[Lorenzo Davids @UrbanLo]

The joy of my country. One day we will celebrate this new land. We will celebrate all it’s people.
We will grow its wealth and will all share in its prosperity.
We will serve each other with respect and grace. Our children will grow old and wise.

@JoburgParksZoo How about it? It's not just aesthetics, shade from suitable street trees help prolong the lifespan of road surfaces. Urban trees are vital #GreenInfrastructure. P.S.@CityofJoburgZA remember your #Cities4Forests pledge? #NatureBasedSolutions @MyJRA @MphoForMayor

@GJMo @JoburgParksZoo @CityofJoburgZA @txmendrew1 - how about planting some trees in our ward! Lots of space to add some greenery! @_JUFA_

#GoodNewsFriday Long awaited, welcome news on the shothole borer (PSHB). Hopefully a step towards the management & control of this destructive pest in Joburg! @JoburgParksZoo @Fabiteam1 @WitsUniversity @TreeWorks_JHB @Marttwit @jozi117

[Wilma Nel, PhD @nel_wilma]

PSHB rearing is in full swing at @Fabiteam1. Cracked open a 6 week old colony today and pulled out 29 fully developed females, 2 males and there were still plenty of developing larvae/beetles.

It's the perfect Saturday in my city 😊🌳☀️

[Ulrich Janse van Vuuren @UlrichJvV]

I'm spending a while here today enjoying the view and the cool breeze from the water. I've found that being outdoors in nature and green spaces is good for me. 🌳💚🤗 #WorldMentalHealthDay

Proving to be a good year, so far, for raptors in Tokai plantation. 2 Black Sparrowhawk nests, a new Rufouschested nest and sightings and sounds of pair of Cape Buzzards and African Goshawks.

We urge the public not to deface trees in our parks by placing memorial plaques on them. This opens the trees to disease and parasites. Remember your loved ones by plating a tree or donating a bench to a park of your choice.
Lets respect our trees🌳#JoburgTrees

From choosing the right tree, in the right location, to engaging local communities, when we plant trees, we must do it in the right way.
