During Arbor Week 2024, the Jones & Wagener Sustainability and CSR Committees partnered to organise tree planting at the Little Angels Creche in Orange Farm. Working together with members of the community, the congregation of the Uniting Reformed Church in South Africa, under the presiding minister Rev. Dr. Paul Ntshumayelo, J&W assisted with the planting of 5 indigenous shade-bearing trees and 5 fruit-bearing trees. Along with the trees, a variety of succulents were planted around the Creche. To top it off, the fertiliser used on the day was sourced from the J&W compost heap!

 

The opening remarks provided by Rev. Dr. Paul Ntshumayelo highlighted the importance behind of the planting of trees, with the message of hope and growth emphasized coming out the strongest. The planting of the trees and succulents brought all in attendance together and many laughs were shared. Thank you to the J&W staff who attended and the management team for supporting this great initiative!
