World Wetlands Day
World Wetlands Day is marked annually to raise awareness of wetlands and their importance to both people and the environment. This year's theme is Forests for water and wetlands, and I wrote this story about some of the work the Wildlands Conservation Trust is doing on the Mkhuze floodplain in Northern KWaZulu Natal.
Riverine Forests such as this one on the Mkhuze floodplain in northern KwaZulu Natal form part of a vital catchment area for the iSimangaliso wetland system.

Travels, Year End and 2010
Over a month into 2010 and it has been too long since I have posted on my blog. I have so much material I can add, but I need to make the time.
Towards the end of the year there were trips to Oribi Gorge, Underberg and Sani Valley Lodge and then a road trip from Pietermaritzburg to Cape Town before Christmas that took us meandering off the obvious routes and finding some interesting places to stay such as the tipis at Outeniqua Trout Lodge along the spectacular Prince Alfred's Pass....
Sani Valley Lodge was a rather luxury self catering affair, I usually go for a more rustic set up. The setting is stunning and fishing excellent, and it is as the name suggests, a good place for a day trip up Sani Pass. Here are a couple of pics from Sani Valley Lodge... I will post images from our travels as I get them processed for stories.
