The entire estate will be fenced off - game reserve style - enabling us to re-introduce small animals and re-habilitate the forest to its previous pristine state. By doing so, we hope to attract even more birds to compliment the already abundant bird life and may even be able to find a mate for our lonesome goliath heron.

The sanctuary will encompass 18 hectares with designated eco-trails, footpaths, hides and viewpoints.
