KZN North 21st of May, Tree Outing Hluhluwe

The Tree Enthusiast Working Group in Hluhluwe is organising tree outings usually every second Saturday of the month. They are led 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. On the 21st of May 2011 the outing will explore the surroundings of the Memorial Gate of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Parky, which has nice variety of trees. All FGASA members are welcome to come and participate for free. Start at 11:30 AM, Memorial Gate parking. The outing ends about 2 PM. For more info phone Greg Davies on 0791893996


Make sure you come, it is an awesome way to learn more trees in KZN!
