Meet Grootbos Foundation’s New Volunteers

Grootbos Foundation welcomes our newest volunteers to the team. We asked them to share a little bit of what it was that drew them to Grootbos Foundation...Lara Scudumore: 'I am a recent Biology graduate from the UK! Grootbos actually runs in the family: my brother and sister have both spent time with the Foundation, and after hearing their stories I couldn’t wait to visit myself. I’ve always loved nature, and I admire how Grootbos combines protecting the fynbos with real commitment to its local communities. I’m excited to get stuck in, learn from the team and help share the amazing work they do. I’d love to take everything I learn here into a career protecting the natural

Nick Tausendfreund: 'I am from Germany and I’m currently volunteering with the foundation for three months. I chose to come here because I really like their work exploring the unique Fynbos nature and connecting conservation with local community education.I wanted to be part of this project to help out while learning hands-on. I’m confident these experiences will help me grow personally and teach me things I’ll keep for life.'
