"Sandton's most important civic organisation, the Sandton Civic Foundation, was also created in response to the Milstein report. The genesis of the Foundation is directly attributable to Mr Eric Gallo, who, together with men such as Mr "Punch" Barlow, established the Foundation on 10 Decelnber 1973 to "...preserve and restore 'indigenous trees and shrubs along the river trails"; "save hundreds of areas' .:. for the preservation of the natural beauty of the area"; and to ensure that "...the town should not attempt to compete with other towns and cities for industries and commercial enterprises...". The Sandton Foundation aimed to keep the area "...in the same way in which we found it". Another objective was to provide social, cultural, and artistic amenities."
