'World Wetlands
Day' cleanup on Park Island
9th February 2002
The weather was glorious for those
who came along to help, ie. Zandvlei Trust members, 'Friends of Park Island' and
other dedicated local residents.
Another function at the University of the Western Cape (Urban Catchment
Management Symposium 2002) clashed, so we had fewer members participating.
Two groups formed, one to remove weed
and litter blocking a canal mouth and the other weeded out pockets of young Port
Jackson seedlings.

This is the weed removal group, most of the weed was cleared from
this section before we left.
8 large bags of plastic of all varieties was collected.
Most
of this weed was removed by Don Lidgley.
Keith and Helen Erlangsen brought their
boys along in their canoe and helped remove litter in the deep water. Una
