Grootbos Rangers Protect Walker Bay During Fynbos Fire

This team of rangers has been working on the reserve during the fynbos fire that has burnt and smouldered in the Walker Bay Region over the last 10 days. Many others have also helped and worked tirelessly to protect people, homes, land and nature.
