Summary

Description
English: Photo-journal of restoration project's "ecological burns" at Helderberg Nature Reserve ... the message is clear "fynbos needs fire, as simple as that!" This is bewildering to some, controversial to others, yet executed in line with carefully mapped out rehabilitation plans AND providing ideal training exercises on how to work in collaboration with other fire fighting role players under controlled conditions.
