Green Corridors receives award for environmental support efforts

They have been recognized for their commitment to protecting waterways and restoring rivers.

Plastics SA presented the Caroline Reid Award to Green Corridors in Durban, which takes care of green spaces around the city.

Caroline Reid, a conservationist and ocean warrior, is the name of the award. She coordinated hundreds upon hundreds of beach and diving clean-ups and was integral in the 2017 Durban Harbour plastic pellet (nurdles), loss. Her networking skills also helped increase awareness of plastic pollution along the KwaZulu-Natal Coastline.

The award was presented by Green Corridors Coastal and Waste Management Projects officer Musawenkosi Shange to Siphiwe Rakgabale, founder of Tri-ecotours and coordinator of Green Corridors Litterboom.
