Getting ready

The monthly meeting is coming up and we need to make more space for trees so we tackled a stretch beyond the Cycad patch and, rather than piling the branches in heaps, we now use them as a perimeter barrier and that works better.

First though Neil came in to see if there is any possibility to get the sit-on mower going again so he needed to take some vital statistics.

Turns out that it will be about ten thousand Rand for a new motor, cough, cough, splutter so we’ll have to think about that one.

It was a combined effort again today, Rob clearing along the fence

Cathy pulling out alien seedlings by the bundle

and Ellie and I doing the heavy stuff of deforestation

In the afternoon we still managed to replace burnt signs along the Nymph Trail and also the peeling Forest Exit sign.
