AGM PLANNED FOR 3RD MARCH AT 18H00 AT CSF RESORT

FOSTER had a very good year in 2021, more than doubling its membership and with the help of generous donors was able to complete some important projects. Such as the Two Bay Trail, the new website and of course the alien plant removal project.

This was in addition to the ongoing reserve maintenance, as those who use the trails for walking and cycling will be able to attest too. We were also with the help of Working on Fire, able to do a lot of work on fire breaks which will help protect properties and life when the next fire breaks out.

THE DETAILS AND OUR PLANS FOR 2022 WILL BE COVERED AT THE AGM WHICH WILL BE HELD AT THE CAPE ST FRANCIS RESORT ON 3RD MARCH AT 18H00.

This will be the first live AGM since COVID started and all members and supporters are urged to attend. There may well be some changes to the committee and nominations from the community are most welcome for people with an interest in conservation and preserving the reserves in our area.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH DESPITE THE INCREASED USE OF THE RESERVES, WHICH IS A VERY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT, THE FAUNA OR WILDLIFE SEEMS TO BE ON THE INCREASE.

With some sightings of Grysbok and a honey badger which we have not seen in a while.

Importantly we want to continue maintaining and improving our 4 reserves and of course that takes funding, in part sourced by the fees paid by our members.

So please, remember to pay your membership fees of R300 pre family or R200 for an individual and donations are most welcome.

Details to be found at www.foster.org.za. We will be sending out reminders as well in due course.

The FOSTER Committee looks forward to seeing you on 3 March at 18h00 at the Cape St Francis resort, who are kindly sponsoring the venue hire

for the AGM and talk by Prof. Cowling. All are welcome and you do not need to be a member to attend the AGM.
