Volunteer to mesh a baobab!

Tswehe Reserve is a magical area in the Tuli Block in Botswana.  The reserve has numerous baobabs dotted across the landscape from the Limpopo River in the south to the vast mopani veld in the north.  Lloyd and Isabel Gillespy run an impact programme that offers immersive nature experiences and opportunities to contribute to meaningful conservation management.  Their program now offers participants first-hand experience of meshing their “own” baobab.  Lloyd hopes that through this program all the baobabs on the reserve can be protected.  In October 2024 the Baobab Foundation taught Lloyd and his team to mesh their first six baobabs kickstarting the program that will run for the next few years.

If you are interested in being part of their baobab-protection program, please contact the Tswehe directly from this link.

Thanks to the PHASA Foundation who supported this initiative.
