the things we do for the love of the bush

These are the collective efforts over November, December and January. We are doing our best and by the proof posted here one can tell we have spared a couple of animals from a cruel painfull fate at the hands of careless heartless poachers. This year we are going at it with much gusto and a renewed sense of urgency.
We are only a two man operation at present and hopefully this year we can afford to employ another two guys to train up and get into the field.

The fact is unfortunately that we are in need of reliable gear that we are unable to afford to get just yet.

FARMERS WITH HEART

now when i went to kiewietsvlei farms to go remove snares from their lands, i had no idea how much walking would be involved. NOT TO MENTION CRAWLING DOWN NARROW BUCKTRAILS but what a day i had the most beutifull surrounings and pleasantly peacefull fauna and flora at my feet. I ran into bush buck ,chacma baboons... and saw trails of many other animals including rooikat and duiker. now kiewietsvlei are farmers with a consience they are already dedicated to doing as little harm as possible to the enviroment in regards to their farming activities, But also do their bit to help the animals.
