The Day of the Triffids
"The Day of the Triffids" and "Murder most foul"
Without looking for them, we found about 100 of these alien invasive ferns in the Witfontein Forests. We chopped down or pulled out about 60, but that is just scratching the surface. Some of them were about 4m high. Nothing is being down about this, so we have made it our mission to try and get rid of them. We will also start a publicity campaign to make people aware of the danger that lurks in their gardens.
