By Nicole Pinnington, Desk Officer - Botswana

Work is going well at the moment. We have finished the new deck, the tree house deck and the stairs in front of camp. Lots of pictures will be included in the next newsletter! The volunteers are currently working on a greenhouse for us to begin planting tree saplings in the hope that we can re-plant trees on Legodimo that are being destroyed by elephants. The elephants are currently spending a lot of time close to the river and to camp; we hear them most evenings and one was even drinking from the swimming pool the other night and munching on the nearby mopane tree. We are also gradually increasing the species on our bird species list having added 8 new species this week.

I would just like to say a big thank you to all those volunteers who left us this month. Thanks for your hard work and I hope you all have many fond memories and awesome photos.
