We aim to provide a well-managed facility for the study of the
flora and fauna of Buffelskloof Nature Reserve and the
surrounding regions, and to stimulate and encourage the
study of biological sciences among tertiary students and
secondary scholars.

Staff

Reserve Manager

I have a deep-rooted appreciation for fauna and flora especially in larger, remote, undisturbed areas.  I deem it important to understand the dynamics of a reserve. 

I currently have 10 years of reserve management experience, 9 years of field-guiding experience and aside from my 3.5 years of working on farms, I grew up on a farm spending as much time as I could outdoors.  

Ecology is important and each new season brings more information with it; which assists me to make the best decision as a manager for this reserve to ensure its biodiversity.

Herbarium Manager

I look after the BNR Herbarium and assist visitors and researchers to locate plants. I have a background in nature conservation and have been privileged to live and work in or near nature reserves. I enjoy seeing wild-flowers and walking. More recently, I found that by assisting researchers, I have become more intrigued by botany in general. I get excited by paleontology and am keen to learn more about the geology and history of this region.

Our two trackers, a Belgium Malinois and an Australian Kelpie are part of the team.  One is advanced and the other is currently in training.
The Buffelskloof Field Station is open only to approved researchers, students and citizen science groups.
