Funding from THE PLANT CONSERVATION UNIT

After getting in touch with Timm Hoffman from the Botany department at UCT to discuss the possibility of making the N7 Road Reserve walk into a formal study, his organisation (The Plant Conservation Unit - PCU) offered to financially suport the walk. They have pledged R10 000 towards the project which is very generous and ensures that it will happen. Through discussions with Timm I have also decided to register at UCT with the PCU to make the project into a Masters Thesis in Botany. This is also very exciting and adds a new dimension and structure to the project.

Sponsorship from CASABIO

CASABIO is an NGO dedicated to the conservation of the earth's species. The concept is simple: you take photos of organisms you see and using easy and efficient software, give them a locality. The result: a collaborative database of species and their localities which can be used for conservation, education and research. CASABIO is run by David Gwynne-Evans who has kindly donated some funds to the N7 Road Reserve Walk!
