C. Steinweg Bridge has taken a significant step toward environmental restoration by donating 3,000 tree seedlings to Lilongwe City Council (LCC) on Friday 24 January 2024.

The donation comes as part of the company’s efforts to address the environmental impact of cutting down Mibawa trees during the construction of the new Kenyatta Road.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, a representative from C. Steinweg Bridge, Wamaka Neba, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation. “We acknowledge the necessity of balancing development with environmental conservation. This donation is part of our pledge to give back to the environment and the community,” Neba stated.

LCC’s Environment Officer, Cedric Tambala, expressed gratitude to C. Steinweg Bridge for their efforts to mitigate the environmental effects of the construction project. “The removal of the Mibawa trees was a difficult but necessary decision to pave the way for Kenyatta Road’s modernization. However, this gesture from C. Steinweg Bridge shows that development can go hand in hand with environmental restoration,” Tambala said.

As the city continues to grow and develop, the partnership between C. Steinweg Bridge and Lilongwe City Council serves as a model for integrating environmental consciousness into urban development projects. With initiatives like this, Lilongwe is taking strides toward becoming a greener, more sustainable city.
