New Tree Outings!



New tree outings planned for this month! Make sure you join in as it is probably the best way to get to know the trees in your area of operation. And it is for free!

14 July and/or 15 July

Tree Outing: Lake Sibaya Dune Forest outing - contact me directly to join from Hluhluwe on Saturday morning, or to arrange for the weekend, contact Denis Oscroft at Denis.Oscroft@icfr.ukzn.ac.za for more details regarding Sunday outing and/or camping at Mabibi. I will be joined by Hartwig von Durckheim and Naas Grove, the President of the Dendrological Society Head-Office in Pretoria, on Saturday morning to join the other Zululand Tree Society members at Lake Sibaya for an interesting outing to some rare dune forest trees. (We will also do a walk in the sand forest at False Bay Park on the Friday for those die-hard tree lovers!) The outing to Lake Sibaya and Mabibi is an official dendrological outing. Tel Cary Lang 035 562 2509

21 July

Sand Forest Dendrological Outing at Sand Forest Lodge and False Bay Park, in combination with Sand Forest Lodge and Richard Boon, the author of the Revised edition of Pooley's Trees of KZN tree book. He will be available to sign copies and will be able to bring copies up to buy. This book is highly recommended for all tree lovers. We will do some tree walks at Sand Forest Lodge and in False Bay Park. Accommodation is available at Sand Forest Lodge in chalets or camping facilities for this ‘Tree enthusiasts’ weekend.

  1. Sounds great! Do we need a 4x4 to get to Lake Sibaya? Scuse the ignorance! :)

    1. Hi Leigh,

      I think it is best to ask Cary Lang this question as she is organising the logistics behind the outings.

      Best Regards,

      Nick
