No better way to go green than to plant a tree! On 3 October, a group of MFM'ers, members of the Student Representative Council and the Stellenbosch Youth Council planted 25 indigenous trees next to the Eerste River, opposite Stellenbosch Fine Foods&Wine Kwikspar. A team from Spier Wines joined us and planted a coral tree to show their support. 
MFM would like to thank Fine Foods&Wine Kwikspar, not only for the refreshments, but for taking ownership of the trees. Kwikspar will make sure the trees get all the water, attention and love they need!
After a morning of hard work, the Tree Team went to the Sustainability Institute for a delicious organic, ethically-source, farm-to-fork meal and a glass of Spier wine. We also went for a tour of the Institute to learn about an alternative, innovative way of green living.
A big thank you to the Stellenbosch Municipality for sponsorship of the trees, tools and compost! Also to our other sponsors for making this event possible. And of course, the volunteers for leaving a visible, green legacy in Stellenbosch!
