KZN North Tree Outings

The Tree Enthusiast Working Group in Hluhluwe is organising tree outings usually every second Saturday of the month, and it has recently been decided to make them more accessible for 'beginners' as well. Hence, some of the next three outings will include a lecture on how to actually identify the tree families and individual trees in KZN. They are given by Dr Du Randt which is a tree specialist in the area. Every time a different area will be visited and will focus on identifying trees and learning about them. This is of course a great way to learn about the trees in this area which are usually considered so difficult to ID. The dates for the next few months are mentioned below, so make sure you diarise these! Participation is for free for both FGASA and non-FGASA members! The full information can be found below. For more info phone Greg Davies on 0791893996

Make sure you come, it is an awesome way to learn more trees in KZN, which will make you a better guide!

Please join the Zululand Dendrological (Tree) Society for a weekend camp at NDUMO GAME RESERVE. Please do your own booking at Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife for either a campsite or chalet for the Friday and/or Saturday night. (Mine is booked already) There is limited space, but we can combine campsites, if we need too. We want to look at the vegetation and trees of Ndumu Game Reserve and esp Usuthu Gorge, which promise a few rare findings. I will probably go up early on Friday morning. I will also come back on Sunday via Tembe andTsongwe Sand Forest - interested people can join us. This weekend is organised by Denis Oscroft from the Tree Society.
