Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive
Our parting shot this week is of the fiscal flycatcher babies that were born a week ago in a nest just outside our office.
Last week, Grootbos Foundation had the pleasure of welcoming soccer legend Mark Fish to our Sports Development programme. Mark met with our coaches and youth, sharing invaluable leadership lessons and insights. His presence was truly inspiring as he discussed how to use his innovative form of soccer, "Fast Footie," to engage and integrate South African youths.
Mark spent quality time with our coaching team, junior soccer players, and senior volunteer coaches at Spaces4All. The collaboration energy was palpable, and we are thrilled to announce that our coaching team is already cooking up future plans for collaboration with Mark!
In addition to his time with our sports programme, Mark and Natasha Fish also went shark cage diving with Marine Dynamics. It was a thrilling experience, presenting a unique opportunity for the "little fish" to swim with the "big fish" in the beautiful, conserved waters actively protected by the Dyer Island Conservation Trust.

Thank you for the kind messages of concern and care this week as an early summer fynbos fire burned between Gansbaai and Stanford.
The view at Grootbos shows a clear outline of where the fire moved towards the Walker Bay area and onto the reserve.
From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, we wish you a fabulous weekend full of wild discoveries.
