Work is still underway to clear the Node 1 pond to prevent overgrowth of alien vegetation that could impact the health of the ecosystem.

Our teams are carefully removing invasive plants to improve water flow, restore natural balance, and create a healthier environment for local flora and fauna.

The newly installed bridges in the Sibaya Coastal Forest are in place, marking a big step forward for trail access and connectivity.

Work is still underway to secure the edges and ensure everything is safe, stable, and built to last, with our teams paying careful attention to detail as these final touches are completed.

A tiny Reed Frog, recently spotted soaking up the sun on one of our newly installed forest bridges, is a simple but powerful reminder that our rehabilitation work is making a difference.

These sensitive little amphibians rely on healthy, well-balanced ecosystems, and their presence is a great sign that the forest is thriving once again.

The Sibaya Coastal Forest is buzzing with activity as dice moth and tent moth caterpillars make their seasonal appearance.

These fascinating creatures may be small, but they play an important role in the forest ecosystem and contribute to the natural cycle of growth and renewal.
If you’re out on the trails, keep an eye out for them … and tread lightly as nature continues to thrive all around us!

We’re excited to share the first Spotted Ground Thrush sighting of the season in the Sibaya Forest!

This elusive and endangered bird has returned, and we need your help to learn more about its movements and behaviour. As part of an ongoing research collaboration between UKZN and The LionHeart Experience, several thrushes were safely caught and colour-ringed last winter. These rings allow researchers to identify individual birds and gather valuable data to support conservation efforts.

What to look out for:
Keep an eye out for Spotted Ground Thrushes with small coloured rings on their legs while walking or enjoying the forest.

Seen one? Let us know!
If you spot a ringed bird, please WhatsApp Dr Johan Gula on 071 190 0604 with:
• The date of your sighting
• The location
• A photo, if possible

Your contribution can make a real difference in protecting this special species. Thank you for helping us support conservation in Sibaya!

The Sibaya precinct is home to a thriving ecosystem.

From the fascinating Sun Oyster found along the shoreline, to the impressive Southern Giant Pill Millipede quietly working through the forest floor, and the intriguing Common Cannibal Snail - each species forms part of the rich biodiversity that makes this environment so special!

Keeping Sibaya’s coastline beautiful.

Following the recent downpour, extra effort has gone into clearing debris washed up along the beaches in the Sibaya precinct.

Alongside this, rehabilitation work continues in the new forest areas, supporting the ongoing restoration of these important natural spaces.
