My name is Lindsay Lewis from Wellington in the Western Cape, I am currently in my final year for an Advanced Diploma in Nature Conservation at UNISA studying the fire regime of Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve. I am a born nature lover and always wanted to live and learn in nature, I have been privileged to work as Conservation Services officer at Vrolijkheid Nature reserve, Section Ranger at Agulhas National Park and Marine Ranger at De Hoop Nature Reserve at. This helped me to gain diverse knowledge about theWestern Cape’s unique and magnificent biodiversity.
I currently work as a nature conservationist at Drakenstein Municipality focusing on management the Nature Reserve’s and natural landscapes. By enhancing the biodiversity value through projects like fire management and alien vegetation clearing projects. The Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve is my home and here I engage with local communities’ public schools, volunteers and environmental groups. Environmental education is key to ensuring that our landscapes can be protected and appreciated for our future generations. My green hobbies include nature photography, trail guiding and bird watching. I volunteer and assist the local Scouts groups with nature activities and environmental cleanup projects
