Drone Footage of Controlled Fire at Grootbos

Watch this incredible drone footage of the controlled fire at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, part of our fire safety plan.

The video gives a clear view of the controlled burn, showing how our team manages the fire.

Why do we do controlled burns?

They help keep our ecosystems healthy by promoting new growth, getting rid of invasive plants, and preventing big, out-of-control fires.

Combined with special cameras, drones help us find any leftover hot spots, making sure our plants and animals stay safe. 

Check out the video and see how we balance nature's power with our efforts to protect it.
