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.
On 30 August 2024, we marked a significant milestone - 12 months of dedicated efforts to clear invasive rooikrans from the dunes in the Walker Bay Nature Reserve. This work has been demanding and challenging, but it's also incredibly beautiful and rewarding.
We are deeply grateful to our hardworking teams of biodiversity stewards who have been tirelessly working in the outdoors, primarily hand-pulling the young rooikrans that sprouted after the fire swept through the area in 2022. Their efforts are a crucial step in landscape conservation, protecting our rich biodiversity, and safeguarding the environment against future threats.
Thank you to everyone involved in this vital conservation 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.
