The Coordination Union for the Rehabilitation of the Environment (CURE) is steadfast in its commitment to nurturing the tree seedlings planted in February at Njamba Park, a key part of the Urban Green Spaces Initiative aimed at enhancing ecosystem intergrity for Blantyre residents.
On Friday (June 21), CURE staff conducted a thorough inspection of the Mahogany seedlings to monitor their progress. The inspection revealed an impressive survival rate of over 90%, underscoring the success of the collective planting initiative.
To maintain this high survival rate, CURE staff watered the seedlings during the inspection to ensure they have sufficient moisture. As summer approaches, the organization plans to water the seedlings every two weeks to sustain their growth and development.
This initiative is a collaborative effort involving CURE, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and member organizations in environmental and natural resources management.
Together, they are advocating for the proper management of Njamba Park and other urban green spaces, urging both duty bearers and the general public to participate actively in these efforts.
CURE’s dedication to this project highlights the importance of maintaining urban green spaces, which are crucial for the sound ecosystem health and well-being of Blantyre’s residents. The organization remains committed to ensuring these spaces are well cared for, promoting a sustainable and vibrant urban environment.
