After a fierce storm in 2023 tore down over 200 of Stellenbosch’s famous oak trees, the community sprang into action with a powerful reforestation effort. Thousands of new oaks and native trees were planted to bring back the town’s green beauty and protect its rich heritage. This rebirth not only restores the City of Oaks’ charm but also strengthens the land against future threats, uniting people around hope, history, and a greener future.
