Knysna Rocks is a fun project that started after the horrible Knysna fires in 2017. People paint rocks with feel-good, happy words or pictures. These rocks are then placed like treasure around and about spreading a little joy and love. There are always some tucked away in Steenbok Nature Reserve!
When you find a rock you like, take it home or re-hide it for someone else to find. GET OUT into the Reserve! Go search for the rocks like a pirate looking for gold dubloons! A groovy treasure hunt – and as we all know… KNYSNA ROCKS!
