Pretoria has the nearest major University which frequently sends student parties to Buffelskloof Nature Reserve on field trips. A Memorandum of Cooperation has been signed between the University and the John Rae Trust. Dr Michelle Greve, a lecturer at the University of Pretoria, writes most movingly of how this facility is unique and greatly appreciated by her students who find John Burrows’ enthusiasm and depth of knowledge inspirational.
It cannot overstated just how important it is to inspire local biologists and conservationists, of all ethnic backgrounds, and to do so in the friendly and relatively secure environment of this reserve.
