Go the the Rooiels Field Notes to see what people have been sending in - rare plants, baboons playing, and the some wonderful photos from visitors to Rooiels. It has been almost a year since we sent out a news note from the Rooiels website. With so much social media buzzing around us, less is more! But the Website does help us to keep a more permanent record that we can go back to over time. Perhaps now is the time to browse through and learn more about Rooiels, refresh your knowledge of the Vision and what our nature and area is all about. In case you didnt see the Leopard photos from the camera traps, we always put some of them onto the Blogs. There have been updates on many pages including the Rooiels Conservancy, link to REC. There is a small group of people working as the Wildlife Action Group (WAG) and another identifying the diversity of the flora in the Rooiels Nature Reserve and it would be great if someone could get involved with looking at the insects, reptiles and amphibians the nature reserve supports. Please email [email protected] if you have any suggestions, photos or links that you would like to share - about Nature, about the village or about sustainable living. On sustainable living. Dont forget that you can help the Pringle Bay school build a classroom - or Stellenbosch university build houses - simply by collecting 2 litre empty bottles and filling them with bread bags, small bits of plastic and aluminium foil wrappers etc. See EcoBricks blog for details. All those straws and bits you pick up along the beach - and you will be surprised at how this reduces your own waste. It is easy - you just have to stuff it so that it weighs at least 500g. Hint you need a long stick that reaches the bottom to be able to compress it tight as soon as it is 20% -- then keep filling and compressing. I dont twist mine, prefer to just stuff it through the hole with a stick!
