In the latter part of the day, you’ll actively participate in a ceremonial tree-planting initiative on the forest’s edge. This meaningful project is a vital part of Bodhi Khaya’s commitment to restoring the indigenous coastal species forest on its land. Through collaboration with the neighbouring Platbos Forest and the non-profit Greenpop, Bodhi Khaya is working to expand and reconnect the remaining fragments of indigenous forest on its property to the larger reserves. This effort bridges the gap between the Platbos Reserve and Grootbos Reserve, and your involvement in this tree-planting project makes a direct contribution to the preservation and rejuvenation of these critical ecosystems.
