Breathtaking Winter Views Across Grootbos and...
The parting shot this week is actually in two parts taken across the landscape today, which was a glorious winter's day.
The Grootbos Foundation’s Green Futures College and nursery team recently hosted five days of hands-on fynbos propagation training for our conservation partners from the Nuwejaarswetland Special Management Area.
Here’s what the week looked like:
Day 1: An introduction to the wonders of fynbos
Day 2: Seed assessments and cleaning
Day 3: Smoking seeds and sowing them
Day 4: Bagging rooted cuttings
Day 5: Collecting cuttings on the reserve
