Hello Western Cape Geocachers!
Local geocacher, Jamie Behrens (familyBehrens), has been talking to Leighan Mossop, the Senior Section Ranger for the Central Section of Table Mountain National Park about geocaching in the Silvermine Reserve area. After much discussion a few ideas have been suggested for how we as geocachers can give something back to a reserve that is willing to allow geocaching to continue within it's boundaries, please see below:
- Adopt a path
- Path upgrades (requires training)
- Alien clearing using herbicide (requires training)
We are looking for a group of dedicated "pioneers" that would attend training events (CITO) and would be willing to pass on skills learned to attendees of any future events held to carry out designated volunteer work. Regular events will be held in the reserve for anyone wishing to attend and assist.
Please contact Jamie directly (familybehrens007@gmail.com) if you are interested in joining the "pioneer" group of geocachers to receive training to pass on to other volunteers in the future.
Regards,
Dave (zombieZA) on behalf of Jamie (familyBehrens)
