Journal - Grasslands series

A5, 20 pages journal.

The Grasslands series was inspired by the critically endangered Woodbush Granite Grassland in Haenertsburg, Limpopo.

When visiting this beautiful area, one cannot help to notice the beauty in the small. As a result, I created this series with my paintbrush and a full heart.

"What makes Woodbush Granite Grassland so special?

​Woodbush Granite Grassland (WGG) is one of South Africa's 72 nationally recognized vegetation types (1) and is a declared critically endangered ecosystem. It occurs in the Limpopo Province on the Woodbush plateau at altitudes ranging between 1080 - 1800 m amsl (see the map below; 2). Only about 10 relatively undisturbed fragments of WGG still exist. Of these, the largest (about 190 ha) is situated next to the small town of Haenertsburg, to the south and west of the village, where the bulk of it is formally protected in the Haenertsburg Nature Reserve. Apart from these few unspoilt fragments, the WGG vegetation unit is severely transformed, overgrazed and infested with unmanaged alien invasive vegetation."
