Our first bridal couple Albert & Zettie Kemp made their vows on 25 February under the age-old Whispering Tree
Mr Izak van der Merwe, forest scientist at the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries who initiated the Champion Tree project in 2003 and still acts as co-ordninator for this worthy cause needs special mention. He is also in charge of law enforcement with regard to the protection of forests and the declaration of protected areas and deserves my warm thanks for not only measuring the Voëlroepersfontein Champion Tree, a Ficus burkei, but also christening it so aptly as The Whispering Tree
