GEORGE NEWS - The Garden Route Botanical Garden's (GRBG) Education Centre recently hosted 220 learners from Parkdene Primary School. On 3 and 4 October, each student acquired the first stamp in their Green Passports.
The Green Passport programme was set up as the pilot programme of the GRBG Education Centre.
In this programme, learners are taught lessons on how to treat and respect their natural surroundings. For each lesson they learn, they receive a stamp in their Green Passport.
Once their passports have been fully stamped, they receive a certificate, supporting their newly found knowledge of our natural environment.
During Parkdene Primary School's first visit, they were introduced to the "seven do's" of walking in nature. According to a statement by the GRBG, this was greatly enjoyed by all the learners who unanimously said they would like to come again as soon as they could.
