The White Milkwood (Sideroxylon inerme) species is widespread in coastal forests and thickets along the southern and eastern coastline of South Africa, but this particular formation type is restricted to the Stanford-Gansbaai-area, with the only protected patches being found on Grootbos itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_6a619faf7eb0d0_03685862\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner cmsmasters_row_fullwidth cmsmasters_row_no_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_half\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_fb_6a619faf7ed530_36823069\" class=\"cmsmasters_featured_block\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_inner\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_text\"><p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_half\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_fb_6a619faf7f4ba8_45068808\" class=\"cmsmasters_featured_block\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_inner\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_text\">\n<h3><strong>Our Foundation is non-profit and makes use of generous donations received from corporate donors and governmental organisations, as well as Grootbos Lodge guests and other private individuals.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our funding is well supplemented by income generated by our various projects, such as our on-site nursery and landscaping businesses, and the sale of produce from Siyakhula Organic Farm.
