Birds were affected by the fires of June 2017
While hundreds of Plettenberg Bay and Knysna residents lost their homes during the June 2017 fires, the smaller creatures in these communities also lost not only their homes but also their source of food. Thousands of birds were left destitute along the Garden Route, so to speak, but thanks to the generosity of locals and a few businesses, these fire victims are starting to bounce back. And by helping the flying residents of these two coastal holiday towns, many lives had also been touched.
