Last month I went to Namibia for some fieldwork. The aim of the 
trip was to build relationships with our collaborators based in 
Namibia, and to find somewhere suitable to install a group of 
permanent 100x100 m vegetation monitoring plots, in woodland 
vegetation. I was based in Windhoek most of the time, but we made 
trips to Ongava Private Game Reserve, Kanovlei State Forest and 
Hamoye State Forest.
