Clean Up Day 18 September 2010

Wêreld Skoonmaak Week: Skoonmaak van Rademeyers pruit in die Moreletakloof, Helios Straat, Moreleta Park.

Ons wil baie graag op die 18de September die Rademeyerspruit, in Moreletakloof, Natuur Reservaat skoonmaak. Mans en vrouens wat gewillig sal wees om langs die spruit in die bosse, die vuilgoed wat van die strate van Moreletapark af, in die stormwaterinlate tot in ons mooi spruit gespoel word, bymekaar te maak, en ook takke te verwyder, sal ons baie kan help.
Natuurbewaring sal steekysters  en sakke voorsien en ek sal sorg vir plastiese handskoene, van Collect-a-Can.
Hierdie is een van die mooiste Reservate in Pretoria, wat n sterk stroom water het, wat afkomstig is uit n fontein slegs 500 meter van die Kloof, maar die straatgemors bly n groot probleem.
As u belangstel om te help, kan u ons kontak, sodat ons kan ooreenkom oor n tyd wat almal die beste sal pas.

Stap in die Moreletakloof/Walk in the Moreleta Kloof

Kom stap saam met ons op die 28ste Maart om 06:30 VM. Ek besef dis vroeg maar die Kloof is op sy mooiste en stilste, op n Sondagoggend.

Pak vir julle n ligte ontbyt in n rugsak en kuier saam met ons langs die spruit onder die bome. Onthou die kamera,  n klein kombersie om op te sit en al die vriende en familie.

Daar is heerlike roetes om van die kies, sommige makliker as ander. Die afstande wissel , maar die langste een is 3.2km lank.  Met al die goeie rëen is die Kloof n lusthof, van die kleinste veldblomme, die mooiste sampioene, wildsbokke en groot ou bome, waaronder die feetjies baljaar.  Die spruit ontstaan net buite die Reservaat , en is n pragtige standhoudende stroom wat groot poele onder die bome maak. Jy is heeltyd bewus van die gekabel van die water, en sang van honderde voëls.

Julle kan enige dag van die week kom stap, vanaf ses in die oggend tot ses uur in die aand( waneer jy die stappie kan afsluit  met n heerlike glassie wyn by die Voerkraal).

Die motors word veilig binne die Reservaat geparkeer, by die Rademeyershek en alles is gratis.
