Students help clear invasive plants from Newcastle river section
Agricultural Students from the Majuba TVET College used their practical training programme to help rid the area of invasive alien plants.
The 13 students were hosted by the Cycads for Pleasure team to assist in the clearing of a section of river along Capricorn Street in Signal Hill.
The initiative forms part of a broader effort to improve water health and promote sustainable land management.
Robb Hough of Cycads for Pleasure, warned that Newcastle's rivers are increasingly threatened by invasive plant species, particularly bugweed and syringa, which pose a serious risk to natural water sources.
Hough urged other businesses and students to join similar river clean-up campaigns in and around Newcastle.
