Today we join the Fisantekraal Public Library for their school holiday programme with the theme of "Eco-Warriors" with their beautiful display focused on environmental pollution. We did a clean up around the Library and reminded the children to put their litter in the BINGO BIN!

On Saturday, 7 December, the MRCT and Mosselbank Wetland Wonderers hosted their last clean-up for the year. 74 volunteers joined hands and collected 282kg of litter from the Mosselbank River and surrounding open fields.

We want to extend a BIG thank you to Shoprite Group for their continuous support to our community clean-ups by making sure our volunteers are fueled for the clean-ups with yummy snacks. We appreciate you 💚

Not the best scenes after the festive season at the river, but thanks to our eco-warriors, this litter won't end up in our rivers. 91 bags at 308kg. Illegal dumping remains, what feels like, an unbeatable problem. But we will continue the flight against pollution 💪

We had an epic first clean-up for 2025. A whopping 124 bags filled and surprise visit from Bingo! We are grateful for the City of Cape Town Solid Waste Education and Collection Departments' support to our projects to Plastics|SA for the donation of bags. ♻️

Join us Saturday for a community clean-up and alien hack as we celebrate World Wetlands Day with the theme "Protecting Wetlands for our common future"! Meet at the green container on Lords Walk Street, Greenville. Please wear closed shoes and bring lots of water!

Today we celebrate World Wetlands Day at our seasonal Mosselbank wetlands. This year's theme is protecting wetlands for our common future. Our beautiful volunteers helped to pick up a 130kg of litter at the river and removed many Port Jacksons.

Lauren and the team from Future Water Institution at UCT visited us as Lauren will be writing a case study about the MRCT. Then the Friends of Boland Park, Bruce and Natalie, popped in to see the team in action and talked about future collaboration and knowledge sharing. 🌱

Litter and then some more litter. Its never ending. Thank you to the incredible river team for going above and beyond making sure this waste does not end up in our rivers. #mosselbankriverconservationteam #mosselbankriver #litter #cleanup #keepcapetownclean

As dedicated custodians of the Mosselbank River, we’re not just protecting nature, we’re also driving impactful EE initiatives. With limited support and funding, the road ahead won’t be easy coming end February, but our commitment to conservation remains stronger than ever!

Since 2019, the Mosselbank River Conservation Team’s volunteers have removed more than 11 tons of litter with their recent efforts, tackling both litter bugs and alien vegetation species. goodthingsguy.com/environment/6-…

This Mandela Day and for Plastic Free July campaign we are partnering with the Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa (IWMSA) (Western Cape Branch) for a Swop Shop! ♻️ Bring your recyclables for treasures or you can join our community clean-up!

We are absolutely blown away by this breathtaking video of the Mosselbank Wetlands, expertly captured by Onke at Mashava_Photography. This incredible ecosystem is exactly what we are fighting to protect and preserve.

Last week our volunteers planted over 700 plants as part of the Mosselbank Wetlands Rehabilitation. Plants were supplied by Vula Environmental Services and project sponsored by Nature Connect . We are incredibly grateful to Nature Connect for providing this opportunity to us!

This past Saturday, our members became river scientists! We collected samples with the MiniSASS tool kit to evaluate river health and tested water quality using a field testing kit that analyzes multiple parameters.

Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers for helping collect 20 bags of litter at the river. Let's work together to keep our open spaces clean and report any instances of illegal dumping. 💪♻️ 0860 103 089 or 021 444 6231 if you have identifying details.
