About The Project
Welcome to Keys to Kruger's Trees, a passion project born from the heart of Ted Woods, a dedicated conservationist and tree enthusiast. This website is a free, comprehensive resource designed to educate, inspire, and connect visitors with the rich arboreal diversity of South Africa's iconic Kruger National Park.
Ted Woods, a former financial sector executive with a deep commitment to Africa's natural heritage, has channeled his expertise and passion into creating this elegant, user-friendly platform. With decades of experience in finance and a keen interest in conservation, Ted recognized the need for an accessible, informative resource that could bring the wonders of Kruger's trees to a wider audience.
Keys to Kruger's Trees is more than just a website; it's a community-driven initiative aimed at enhancing the experience of both seasoned park visitors and first-time travelers. By providing detailed information on the 365 tree species found within Kruger National Park, we hope to deepen visitors' appreciation for the park's diverse ecosystems and the critical role trees play in supporting wildlife and maintaining ecological balance.
Our mission is to make tree identification and learning accessible to all. Whether you're a botanist, a nature photographer, or simply a curious traveler, our site offers a wealth of information presented in a clear, engaging manner. From detailed descriptions and high-quality images to interactive features and educational resources, we've designed every aspect of the site with our users in mind.
As a free resource, Keys to Kruger's Trees embodies Ted's belief in the power of education and the importance of making knowledge freely available. We are committed to maintaining the simplicity and elegance of our design, ensuring that users can easily navigate and enjoy the wealth of information we provide without distraction or complication.
