The event coincided with Open Parks Week, with activities designed for the entire family, including educational displays, demonstrations, guided tours of the Interpretation Centre, and a tree-tagging &#8220;treasure hunt&#8221;. Members turned out in force to instil a love for nature and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/10253951467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mokala.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/south-africans-get-free-entry-as-day-visitors-to-national-parks-next-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South Africans get free entry as day-visitors to national parks next week<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The future of conservation lies in the hands of the youth, and parents need to understand conservation to teach their children,&#8221; remarked Hestia Swanepoel of the Honorary Rangers Diamantveld Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Mokala3_19758.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:631px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the public enjoying their visit to the Interpretation Centre. Photos: Supplied<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She explained that several months ago, some members began developing the idea of creating family-friendly activities in Mokala. After discussing and refining various concepts, the family fun day was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day, members were stationed at different points throughout the park to engage with visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Mokala1_16800.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:599px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A visit to the Interpretation Centre provides information on the fauna and flora, as well as history of the park. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lood and Sonja welcomed guests at Lilydale Rest Camp, handing out cupcakes and sweets whilst sharing information about Mokala. At Kameeldoring Picnic Spot, Hannes and Gawie challenged visitors to guess the length of antelope horns, teaching them about scientific horn measurement techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chrissie and Margaret were stationed at the bird hide, armed with animal skin cut-outs and bird identification books to educate visitors. Marie guided guests through the Interpretation Centre, sharing the fascinating history of Mokala and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Mokala5_22136.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:534px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Part of the tree-identification challenge. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Pieter and Miguel were stationed at the Matopi Picnic Site, whilst Mathilda and Hestia hosted activities at Mosu Rest Camp. There, visitors embarked on a tree-identification challenge, trying to spot all the tagged trees, with help of information about Mokala&#8217;s flora and seed samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Mokala2_18300.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:638px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Interpretation Centre can be visited with or without a guide. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, rainy weather meant fewer visitors than usual, particularly at the picnic spots. However, this allowed members to conduct additional patrols throughout the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was fantastic being there as a group of 11 members,&#8221; said Swanepoel. &#8220;At every station, our volunteers shared extensive information with guests, and visitors returned to tell us they&#8217;d learnt new things and found all the SANParks Honorary Rangers of Diamantveld incredibly friendly.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A family fun day was recently hosted by Honorary Rangers Diamantveld Region to promote conservation awareness among

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
