Conservancy remove alien invasive trees along Umgeni River bank

The Umgeni Estuary Conservancy (UEC) together with the Amanzi Ethu Nobuntu team recently cleared around 2 000 Litsea glutinosa trees from the north bank of the Umgeni River. The highly invasive tree, which is common throughout Durban North, has led to rapid habitat change along the creek of the river. According to Margaret Burger of the UEC, Amanzi Ethu Nobuntu participants removed the trees from 15cm high to the standard tree size.
