I love nature and especially plants. I first learnt about indigenous trees in the area around Gqeberha from the very knowledgeable experts in the Dendrological Society there many years ago, and still love trees and forests. I also have a special interest in the plants and animals of the Great Karoo, an area close to my heart. I am interested in other plants and animals too.
My passion for conserving natural areas finds an outlet in inter alia hacking invasive plants with the Rhodes Memorial / Newlands Forest Hacking Group, and activities of the Newlands Forest Conservation Group.
