Grootbos Foundation Photo Contest Winners Ann...
The Grootbos Lodge staff participated in an exciting photo competition, and we are thrilled to announce our joint winners!
This photo of a puffadder holds special meaning for us. It's not just about its cool markings or hidden talents in camouflage. What makes it really important is who took the picture - our biodiversity stewardship team.
Two years ago, they might've been scared or even harmed the snake. But now, after learning about snakes and nature through environmental education sessions, they handled the encounter calmly.
Snake sightings are common in their work. So, when they found this puffadder chilling under a rooikrans bush, they calmly admired its beauty, snapped a pic, and let it be. They even shared the photo proudly.
We're proud of their growth and how they're helping conserve nature.

Our entomologists stumbled upon these two impressive male 'puffies' while returning from an insect survey in the conservancy.
We had the pleasure of hosting 50 local visitors from Stanford, Gansbaai, Baardskeerdersbos, Hermanus, and Pringle Bay for a special Grootbos Foundation Tour.
Today was a special treat for our biodiversity stewardship teams, who work tirelessly as independent contractors to clear invasive plants from our landscape.
