The more hands\, the better! \n📍 Location: Tokai\n🕣 Time: 08:30\n📍 Meet at: Tokai Park Braai & Picnic Area\, Tokai Road\n(Please arrive on time — we’ll drive to the site together.) \n📞 Ray: 067 177 6225 \nhttp://tokaipark.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Video-2025-11-27-Sugarbird-Trust.mp4\nCome help us save the fynbos\, get a little dirty\, and wrap up the season with a final feel-good morning!
