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.
Our Horticulture students are becoming experts in identifying alien invasive plants from indigenous ones. Here they are proudly showing off their plant identification skills!
It is important to recognize the difference. Our Biodiversity Stewardship Manager, Thili, tested our college students with a range of alien plant species. The students also harvested Erica irregularis seeds and learned how to offload and plant 500-litre trees!
We’re excited about their progress and dedication. Keep up the fantastic work!

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.
