A walk in Steenbok with Esther Townsend

  
 
 

Credo Environmental Services have agreed that, without consultation with affected residents, no further major clearing will be undertaken on the high-tide pathway to Kingfisher Creek and that the involvement of Credo will be extended to a further visit and review in second quarter of 2020. Visit our website for the latest Credo Eradication of invasive/alien plant species report.

In the interim Esther Townsend, a member of our Management Committee, visits the site regularly to provide guidance on identification of remaining aliens.  Walking with Esther in Steenbok is always a delight.  She not only identifies the plants that need removing but also points out the new plants that have begun to establish themselves in this very precious area.  Esther is also responsible for helping out with the Steenbok flora and invasive flora section of our website.
