This Calendar Girls-style calendar has a twist, in that it’s probably the first of its kind with male and female models. It’s been wonderfully designed by Chilli Source Design, with photography by Barrie Walsh.
Our natural world is in crisis and it is up to each of us to look after the parts of it that are right on our doorstep.
With these photos, the committee members and friends of Iphithi Nature Reserve have put themselves in the same vulnerable position as the nature they seek to protect.
Iphithi Nature Reserve is a 12ha natural area in the heart of busy suburbia, relying solely on donations to help care for the reserve’s forest, grasslands and stream ecosystems, and build a sanctuary for flora, fauna and visitors.
To order your calendar for R110, contact Anno Torr on atorr@telkomsa.net, 0726025610, or go to their Facebook page, which has banking details and email address. Postage, if needed, will cost R30 for between 1 and 3 calendars. This includes a tracking number.
It is also available at the gift shop at Giba Gorge and The Corner Cafe in Glenwood.

Goodness me, caught em just in the nick of time.
Wonderful to see volunteers taking responsibility for restoring and preserving our natural areas. I was at the the Iphithi Nature Reserve last week and the work they have done in recent years to restore this beautiful spot is worthy of huge praise.
