October was filled with meaningful moments for WESSA KZN members, from forest discoveries to coastal clean-ups, all united by a shared love for nature.
Earlier in the month, on 18 October, members gathered at Beachwood Mangrove Nature Reserve for the monthly clean-up and social meetup, collecting over 20 bags of waste. Around ten dedicated members took part, reflecting on their impact and planning ahead for the Great Southern Bioblitz 2025.
These monthly clean-ups, held every third Saturday, continue to strengthen WESSA’s commitment to reducing ocean-bound waste, one bag at a time.

Members also enjoyed a guided nature walk at Hawaan Forest Estate, led by youth members Bernard, Zuzile and Lungelo. Participants of all ages connected with nature through guided interpretations, wild fruit tasting and even tree hugging, ending the day with a shared lunch in true WESSA spirit.
