Colobus Trust

Today a team went out to erect the newest Colobridge in a slightly strange place. Johnno the owner of a private house called Norjean found that his Colobus troop were having a slight problem when a branch from his Baobab tree fell down in high winds. It meant that the troop could no longer get onto the roof of his property which is an important route for them to cross the property as well as being a favourite sunbathing spot for the monkeys! So last week Johnno gave us a call to see if we could help! This was definately a first for the Trust, however Phil our Colobridge expert took it in his stride and quickly knew how to slove the problem. So after building our shortest bridge to date at only 8m and an hour and a half of ladder and tree climbing this afternoon the bridge was in place! Sadly the troop were not around to see if it was a success but we are awaiting an update from Johnno! Stuart – Assistant Manager
