Arbour day with Dundee GREEN FINGERS: Tsumeb-based Dundee Precious Metals last week joined the global community in commemorating Arbour Day. First celebrated in Spain in 1594, the holiday encourages individuals and groups to plant and care for trees. “Our beautiful Namibia is a semi-arid country and prone to deforestation and veld fires,” Dundee environment and health manager Nico Potgieter said when the company led the planting of trees at two old-age homes at the town, as well as at the SOS Children''s Village and at the Dundee site. “Planting trees today will ensure that future generations will benefit long after we are gone,” Potgieter said.
