Biodiversity Stewardship Reward Day

Today was a special treat for our biodiversity stewardship teams, who work tirelessly as independent contractors to clear invasive plants from our landscape. Their hard work is crucial in safeguarding the unique fynbos landscape of the Walker Bay Region.

To show our appreciation, we organised a field trip day, giving them a chance to experience the very landscape they dedicate themselves to protecting. The morning was spent hiking a private trail through the stunning milkwood forest at Grootbos Nature Reserve, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

It's moments like these that remind us that we can't protect what we don't love.
