Index and Links to Rooiels Community Website pages

Directory 
The Website is arranged in Six Sections -- Vision, Key Information, Organisations, Nature, Communications and Galleries
If you click on any of these sections (that are listed along the top of every website page) it will take you to that section summary webpage.  The summary webpage gives you an overview and also provides links to all the pages in that Section.  It is useful to look at the overview page of each section. (For those of us less familiar with websites: a page or webpage refers to all the information in a sub-section and can include information equivalent to any number of printed pages).

However, if you would like to go directly to a particular page - then click on the word in blue in the Table of Contents below.

About the Website
The main objective of this community website is to provide useful information for residents and visitors to Rooiels.  It is designed to share news and to be a source of knowledge about our flora, fauna and environment and to provide links and connections.   The community also has an active Facebook page (Rooiels Gemeenskap) and has set up, but is not yet using, a Twitter handle   (See links on the Key Information page).  The community also has several WhatsAp groups for security - contact the RESA office for details.

We would like to continue to expand and deepen the information available on the website and ask you to send in relevant information or links.  We hope that this will be a quick source of information for anyone wanting to know more about the wonderful nature that surrounds us.  We would love to have your feedback and interesting links or articles as that keeps us motivated and keep the website current! We would like to add your photos to the Rooiels Fieldnotes and the Social pages.  
Also please put in your comments directly on the Blogs - especially Leopard, Otters and the Rooiels Chat.  

Click on the Comments below the post and up will come a form you can fill in - it takes just a few seconds to do.
Please email information, photos, feedback and ideas on the website to  rooielsweb@gmail.com.
