Sabbatical in the Nature

Reserve projects

We did soil erosion, alien plant control, fence clearing, ring barking as all to stimulate the natural growth of the plants in the area. We also started building a lion enclosure as some time during the month of January, 4 lion cubs will be arriving.

Here is a picture of me with my panga removing alien plants, the gauva tree and port jacksons (from australia).









Fence Clearing and control. Here we clear the fence on the side of the reserve to allow easy access to the fence to check if there are any damages and holes in the fence. While doing the clearing we check for holes and fill these up with the plants that we chop down with our panga.

Veel plezier in Australie en Nieuw Zeeland, echt nieuw voor je.
Met liefs, Carolien.
