Glenwood School Karoo Challenge

Students at Glenwood School, George, committed the toughest section of their 18 day adventure in the wilds to Racing for Leopards. Cycling the 85km section over the Langeberg mountains to Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, near Heidelberg, Western Cape, the students where inspired to be able to do positive actions for conservation.

Last year Landmark Foundation actually rescued and GPS collared a leopard in this area. Cycling along the whole route the students took into consideration were leopards roam and where they are now locally extinct. Understanding their ecology, needs and what it takes to conserve them is an important part of the activities done en route.

The support vehicles also wore the badges and Glenwood spoke with interested onlookers and farmers about leopards and their conservation. The school has been helping leopard conservation since 2009 with ongoing school projects, fundraising events and enthusiasm. This year the school is really going all out to help - we will keep you posted.

. . Thank you Glenwood!!
