SANParks Completes Controlled Burn in Garden Route Park

SANParks has completed a controlled burn of more than 20ha of fynbos east of Kurland in the Tsitsikamma as part of its programme to promote biodiversity and reduce the risk of wildfire damage.

Garden Route National Park manager Paddy Gordon said on Tuesday the area of 23.3ha was 5ha west of the Tsitsikamma Toll Plaza and about 8km east of Kurland.
