Took the students to Van Rensburg Avenue today to go and see how the fire breaks were cut on the road. The students also took the opportunity to do a little monitoring of the local wildlife, one of the unit standards they had to cover.
Seeing the variety of birds there where the bulldozer pushed over trees was amazing to see. The birds were all there for the insects that were exposed as well as seeds that would have been thrown on the ground.
The reason for the wide firebreak being cut on Van Rensburg Avenue is so that in the event of a fire coming through there, there is a lot of space to get our vehicles in and fight the fire.
