Wow, that looks impressive.
Re: Supporting Our Rangers Who Protect Our ***
A wonderful way to celebrate World Ranger day. The monument is beautiful - the strength and incredible resilience of the Leadwood is a fitting representation of the guts and determination of our great rangers. Thank you, one and all.
Honorary Rangers, you are stars too; I'm sure your efforts to uplift the working conditions of the rangers are much appreciated.

And thank you to those who donated money to the SANParks VHRs to contribute to this memorial!

Sal, the VHRs will also be getting involved in Project Relax, we are sharing a ranger post with Bosveld region; a remote post near Shimuwini, Mahlangeni. As soon as we know what is needed, we are hoping forum members will also get involved in this project.salamanda wrote: Honorary Rangers, you are stars too; I'm sure your efforts to uplift the working conditions of the rangers are much appreciated.

Terrific DB. Thanks for the info.
Re: Supporting Our Rangers Who Protect Our ***
What a beautiful monument to remember those who have lost their lives in protecting our national parks! Nothing else could be more applicable to symbolise the rangers' dedication than the lead wood stump.

Re: Supporting Our Rangers Who Protect Our ***
This event was also the kick-off of Project Relax. The aim is to uplift the quality of life of the rangers and their families. As a start the SANParks Honorary Rangers has donated R 150 000 worth of items to all the rangers posts throughout Kruger. The items include furniture, jungle gyms, board games and vegetable gardens.
This is such a great initiative!

It is a fitting monument with its stonework and Leadwood stump!

Have a look at http://www.myschool.co.za Or you could phone on 0860 100 445 they are very helpful.
I joined this several years ago, but if we all join, we can really make a difference.

Kite, I agree.
This is really a fitting memorial to the dedication of those who give willingly with no thought of return.
