Mogale City together with other municipalities across Gauteng, will participate in the national Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment’s One Million Tree Planting Programme on 24 September 2025, aligned with National Arbor Month.
As part of this important greening initiative, each municipality has been allocated 7,600 trees. Mogale City is committed to planting its full allocation, particularly in areas with limited greenery such as townships and other lacking spaces. This campaign reflects our collective commitment to building a healthier, greener, and more sustainable city for generations to come.
We are hereby calling on our broader community to join hands in making this initiative a success. Through this programme, businesses, NGOs, churches, schools, and community members are invited to participate by collecting trees and committing to plant them in homes, schools, places of worship, businesses, and community spaces across our city. Every tree planted is a lasting investment in clean air, shade, biodiversity, and the fight against climate change.
Why plant a tree?
- Trees improve air quality and help combat climate change
- They provide shade, reduce urban heat, and save energy
- They create habitats for birds and other species
- They add beauty and value to our neighbourhoods
How to get involved
- To collect a tree, please contact Musiiwa Raselabe at 011 951 2145 or via email at musiiwa.raselabe@mogalecity.gov.z
- Requests must include the address where trees will be planted, as the municipality is required to monitor and support their growth
Together, one tree at a time, we can make a lasting difference.
