Join us for a bio-mimicry walk with conservationist and international speaker Jonathan Leeming on Satruday 4 March 2023 for an exploration of the natural world in search of how nature offers solutions to the challenges of our time. Since humans live under the same laws of nature and under the same conditions, it makes sense that we learn from the inner workings of the natural world.
We will meet on the front lawn at 07:30.
Cost is free for members and R60 for non-members (including entrance fee).

Please join us on Saturday 4 February at 07:00 for a Wetlands Walk with wetland specialist Retief Grobler to celebrate World Wetlands Day.
The Faerie Glen Nature Reserve is one of the last areas within the city where both ridge and flood plain morphology occur, with the Moreletaspruit running through the length of the reserve. Join us to learn more about the functions of the ecosystem, the type of wetland and how urbanisation has altered the natural flow of the system and how we can protect and conserve our river and wetlands to ensure the free ecosystem services they provide for future generations.
Bring along a hat, water to stay hydrated and comfortable shoes. We will meet on the lawn at the entrance building.
Cost is free, apart from entrance fee for non-members.

Best-selling author, international speaker, and award-winning conservationist, Jonathan Leeming will be our guest speaker for the evening and guide us through an entertaining and unique exploration of spiders, answering the question: How spiders can help us overcome the challenges of our time? It has never been more important to understand the world around us. Bite Me! leverages our perceptions of spiders and their bites to demonstrate how we have become disconnected from the current requirements of our time.
