Grootbos Foundation Team Explores New Hiking Trail

Our dedicated staff members from all foundation programmes recently had the pleasure of walking a new hiking trail on the Groot Private Nature Reserve. This enriching experience allowed them to ensure the path was well cut and clearly marked, while also spending quality time together and embracing the joy of nature.

Guided by the expertise of our Conservation Research Unit, our team members - coaches, volunteers, field rangers, research scientists, interns, enterprise facilitators, office administrators, teachers, and more - immersed themselves in the wild. They had the unique opportunity to experience our programmes just like our Earth Rangers and ambassadors for fynbos.

What a wonderful opportunity it was for everyone to connect, learn, and grow amidst the beauty of our natural surroundings!
