Future Ecologists Inspired at Grootbos

The Stellenbosch University students from the undergraduate degree in Biology & Ecology completed their ecology fieldwork at the Grootbos Environmental Centre this week and left a message on the chalkboard. They left full of ideas and inspiration having spent 2 weeks fully immersed in a world of unspoilt fynbos, learning how to work together and explore the scientific process. We look forward to seeing the results of their work and to following the journey of these young South Africans who have chosen academic career pathways in natural sciences.
