Growing Forests one tree at a Time

​In partnership with Tress for Tourism, the conservancy has established a restoration site close to our office. The site has been approved by the South African Reforestation Trust as an area that has been disturbed and needs assistance to restore it back to forest. The replanting is an important part of this natural process. The trees are taken carefully as tiny seedlings from nearby mature Grootvadersbosch Forest, cared for in our nursery and then planted back in the reforestation site.

We also protect the trees by placing human hair (carefully retrieved from a nearby hairdresser) to keep bushbuck away who don't like the smell. The trees in the nursery are cared for under the watchful eye of our nursery manager, Goliath “Twakkie” Highbury.
This year, we had a fabulous tree planting day. We planted over 343 trees that were generously donated by Tourvest. Thank you Tourvest for your support. Check out our video about our tree planting day. The planting was done by our amazing “green finger” team from Heidelberg, lead by Cynthie Cilliers. Why not contribute to this project and donate R120 to this great inititive. Click here to grow a forest, one tree at a time.
