WHAT DID YOU FIND ON THE #HAPPYTRAILS? 👀 Over

WHAT DID YOU FIND ON THE #HAPPYTRAILS? 👀

Over the next month we plan to fill THIS WALL, as well as our HAPPY TRAILS Project in the @inaturalistorg App, with all of YOUR observations found in our mountains 🌼🌸🌿

#HappyTrails is not only a fun outdoors activity to do with your friends and family, but it is also for identification and to support biodiversity conservation. 🌍

A few participants have enquired whether it is compulsory to photograph 3 flowers along the routes? Our answer is, yes and no. If you are racing for the fastest time, we will forgive you for not identifying any flowers along the way. But to qualify for prizes you do need to photograph 3 plants and upload to iNaturalist at some point during the month. This can be done when you are not in competitive mode. As long as the plants are located within the streets and slopes of the City Bowl you will qualify. Helping us explore and share the amazing biodiversity in our backyard is what sets this event apart from the rest and we can guarantee you will start seeing our trails through new eyes 🤩

The Video shows how to DOWNLOAD & USE iNaturalist:
1. Download Free App for both Android and Apple.
2. In the App search under the Projects tab for HAPPY TRAILS and join.
3. Photograph plants and animals on the trail using the App they will automatically be uploaded to the HAPPY TRAILS project as long as location is on.
4. You do not need to identify the plant or animal yourself, experts on iNaturalist will do that for you.

In partnership with @fynboslife 💛

POTS, POTS, POTS 🤩💛✨ Our Macassar planter

POTS, POTS, POTS 🤩💛✨

Our Macassar planter range is made my a local self-sustaining enterprise that up-skills and employs people from the community of Macassar, youths in particular. The business is co-owned by its employees 🧡 This range comes in 3 colours [terra-cotta, white & black] and 3 sizes [12cm, 15cm & 18cm].

Pop in store to see our terra-cotta pot range - there are so many shapes & sizes 🤩 Terra-cotta’s porous nature allows for air and water to move through the walls, preventing soil disease and root rot, and are particularly good for succulents and other plants that prefer drier soil 🌵💚
