Conservation Team Rapid Bioblitz & Invasive Clearing Priority Site

Let's go outside with the Conservation Team! This week, they explored and recorded what they saw in the fynbos landscape in a rapid bioblitz survey and also at a different site which they have identified as high priority for an invasive plant clearing project. Recording general biodiversity provides a baseline species survey which can be used for comparison purposes, to develop land management plans and to build genuine interest and appreciation of nature.
