Last week we had the privilege of hosting a few of our overseas board members who had travelled to SA for the annual Wilderness Foundation board meeting. Two of the board members (Ed Posey and Sharon Oliver) arrived a few days early so that they could take part in a Wilderness Trail in Woody Cape.
Wilderness Foundation experiential education manager, Lihle Mbokazi led the trail. She was joined by Somerset East projects coordinator, Lincoln Meyer and three of this year’s conservation graduates (Nomlindo, Lifa and Zola). Our two VIP guests were Ed Posey from the Gaia Foundation and Sharon Oliver from the Oliver Foundation.
“Although the weather didn’t play along, I hope everyone enjoyed the trail,” says Lihle. “On the first day we had a great trip down to the beach, and a refreshing swim in the sea. In the evening when it started to rain, we made ourselves comfortable under the fly sheet and enjoyed chicken stew and rice for dinner. We ended up going home a little soggy, but having had a true experience of the eccentricities of Eastern Cape weather!”

All feeling a little tired, and a little wet!
