Happy New Year -- let us hope that the awful fire will soon be over. But oh dear what will all our animals live on in the coming months. Some parts of the 12000 ha that have burned were in need of fire. But much was not and in those areas the endangered fynbos could see many species lost.

Overstrand Traffic Update Thursday 10.01.2019 @ 16:30 Unfortunately the R44 Clarence Drive between Rooi Els and Gordon's Bay will remain CLOSED due to active fire conditions in the area, which have now burned 11 500 hectares. The Blog Below has some details on the fire and the implications for the fynbos and was written on Weds 9th. You can continue to get updates from Greater Overberg FPA. The Breeze – the 2018 Breeze has been put onto the Website and so you can send the link to friends and family and they can see it all. The 2017 Breeze is also there. Be sure to learn all about our wonderful environment in the Nature section of the website – particularly the Leopard and the Other Animal Camera Trap Blogs. Don’t forget to also check out the Rooiels Wildlife Facebook page. There is a really delightful video (The Penguin Song – Alison Scott on U-Tube) you should be sure to access. Ali and John worked with children in Kleinmond, Mooi Uitsig and Pringle Bay to produce artwork and dance to illustrate their song about the importance of minimising the use of plastic and saving our penguins. It is a treat. Be sure to listen and watch. Just click any of the links above (where it is underlined and in blue) and you will go directly to the photos, articles, music etc.
