We have several interns working for us this year, and the first three arrived on the 2nd of April. We welcome Mulatedzi, Matome and Babalwa to our growing team. Matome and Mulatedzi will be working with Cindy-Lee on our Environmental Education and Community Programs, and are funded by the NRF on a 12-month contract. Babalwa will work with Mark on the Conservation and Research Programs and is funded for 18 months by The Groen Sebenza Internship program run by WWF-SA. We are grateful to these institutions for choosing to place interns with the Nature’s Valley Trust, as it enables us to add momentum to our work in the Tsitsikamma National Park, Nature’s Valley, and beyond!

The three spent their first week helping us run our April Holiday Programme for kids in Nature’s Valley, which included a forest walk, a sandcastle competition, an easter egg hunt, and bird ringing in the Fynbos Reserve with Mark. We look forward to an exciting year ahead with them!
