This year’s trophies include a piece of history
As a result of the devastating fires that ravished the Garden Route this year we have lost many magnificent trees. As a tribute, Tom Eckley (MTO Group Forest Manager at Buffelsnek) has managed to recover some stunning Outeniqua Yellowwood for the trophy bases (Afrocarpus falcatus for the purists… certificate included).
Train hard and you can win one of these!!
