ECUFPA wishes you a prosperous 2017.
We have had skeleton staff in the office since Tuesday 3 January 2017, but will be in full force on Monday 9 January 2017.
Rain for the most parts of the Eastern Cape have been scarce, fortunately good rains have fallen since the beginning of January. Port Elizabeth and surrounding areas have seen a few fires from end of November and most of December. If you are out and about this summer, please remember to be fire wise and not start unwanted fires.
If you missed out on the ECUFPA article regarding Vulture fires, have a look at it here.
We send our condolences to the Gerber family, Francois Geber was plantation Manager at MTO Longmore, he passed away on the 5th of December 2016.
Francois was a dear friend and a committed ECUFPA ExCo member. He had a key input on forestry and the foundation of the Sarah Baartman West FPA.
Francois will be missed by his wife, two children and all his family and friends.
