'The health of our cities is seen in its waterways 'The health of our cities is seen in its waterways' that was the quote coined by the founders of the Peninsula Paddle. Take the journey your trash takes - follow the link in our bio to see the video of the 11th annual Peninsula Paddle. Did you know you could paddle from Zandvlei to Milnerton through the City of Cape Town's canals and waterways?
Let's take a trip down memory lane and have a look Let's take a trip down memory lane and have a look at our awesome video of Birdathon 2019! We would have loved to host a Birdathon 2020 festival but Covid-19 had other plans. Do not despair, our Birdathon 2020: Virtual Covid-19 Edition is shaping up to be an awesome event! The purpose of Birdathon has always been to expose the people of Cape Town to the beautiful False Bay Nature Reserve and to share information on the birds and wildlife found in this reserve. CTEET, the @cityofct and the Cape Bird Club are wholeheartedly committed to this goal and we hope that you will join us in celebrating our natural heritage! E-mail events@cteet.co.za for more info and to pre-register your school group, bird club or youth group to get a FREE activity book delivered to you and the chance to enter the LUCKY DRAW to win great spot prizes. @seasearchresearch @saveourseasfoundation @sharkspotters @nsri_station16 @capeleopardtrust #events #birdathon #virtualevent #getoutside #falsebaynaturereserve #annualevent #cityofcapetown

"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world" - Nelson Mandela In 2020, World Teachers’ Day will celebrate teachers with the theme “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”. We at CTEET recognise that it has been an incredibly difficult year for teachers, and we celebrate their incredible resilience and determination to provide education to their learners. In a country where the majority of the population lives under the poverty line with limited access to resources, we commend our teachers on continuing to work through the difficulties and creatively moving through this global pandemic. Happy World Teachers’ Day – we thank you for all that you do! #worldteachersday2020 #worldteachersday #educationiskey #educationforall #changinglivesthroughnature #childrenarethefuture #unesco #unicef #ilo #educationinternational #teachersday #teacherappreciationday

THANK YOU to all the Leaders from our Conservation THANK YOU to all the Leaders from our Conservation Leadership Programme and to the Bergvliet 2nd Scouts who came out yesterday to help clean up the Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve for International Coastal Clean-Up Day! We recorded all the items collected on site which included one computer screen and six car tires! The data we recorded is so important for creating solutions for #TrashFreeSeas. If you have an area you think needs a good clean-up let us know, we'd love to do more, especially in areas where it's needed most 🌻 This clean-up was made possible by @oceanconservancy and @plastics.s.a 🌿 Let's work together to create a plastic-free earth. . 📷: @ryan_theadventurerza . . #iseegreen #changinglives #cleanon #cleanup #environmental #plasticfree #wastestopswithme #cleanwater #oneplanet #cteet #ICCwithCTEET #ICC #coastalcleanup
