Tree Identification
Group

A special interest group for tree identification on the farm has been initiated and is open to anyone who might like to start learning more about trees on the farm and learn how to identify them  (including trees around their houses ). A general tree list for the area is included under Species Lists ( but is by no means complete ).

One of the shareholders, Johan Wessels, has extensive knowledge of trees, and will be there to assist, but will not identify them for you !! The provisional dates for meeting in 2010 are:

• 20 February - took place.
• 3 April - took place. There were 28 trees identified including Vitex Pooara which only occurs in the Waterberg.
• 29 May - took place
• 10 July - took place
• 21 August
• 2 October
• 27 November

 Shareholders can meet at 7:30 at the main gate - but please bring walking shoes, tree book and water-bottle as you will be walking in the veld.

As the dates are provisional, please confirm with one of the following beforehand to make sure that it is taking place:

• Therese Kriel  082 337 9984

• Johan Wessels  083 230 2192
