In a collaborative effort to bring a wetland to life, the National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe and the Friends of Matobo National History Museum are calling on volunteers to join a community work day.
The event aims to set up Bulawayo’s first Living Wetland Display, a hands-on, nature-based learning space for all ages.
The community work day is scheduled for Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Museum in Bulawayo. Volunteers are needed to help with various tasks, including building a viewing platform, landscaping the area, and clearing the space. Participants are encouraged to bring gloves, hats, water bottles, and shovels or hoes if available. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
” we look forward to seeing more people voluntarily coming to set up Bulawayo first Living Wetland Display, that will serve as a educational site to everyone ” said one of the organisers.
The Living Wetland Display promises to be an engaging and educational experience, offering a unique opportunity for the community to come together and learn about the importance of wetlands. By volunteering, individuals can contribute to the creation of a valuable resource that will benefit the community for years to come.
For more information and to RSVP, interested individuals can contact the organizers. The event is open to people of all ages, and organizers welcome participants with a range of skills and abilities.
This initiative is a testament to the power of community collaboration and the importance of preserving and promoting Zimbabwe’s natural heritage.
