Activity update

Up on the Nyika, the road grading season is under way. The Trust has had positive comments on the work so far. Mr Mteto, the Nyika National Park manager, has said of one section that it's "a dream - like a tarmac road"! Great praise indeed and well done to our team for their efforts! Meanwhile, the early controlled burn programme started at the end of May. Our team of permanent staff have greatly benefited from attending The Mount Mulanje Fire Training Seminar, which was led by members of the US Fire Service. Thanks to the Mount Mulanje Conservation Trust for inviting us along! And finally, Trust manager Geoff Wooles is cautiously optimistic about the several juniper transplants growing in the trial indigenous tree nursery.
