"This is practical ecology at its best – an explanation of the theory followed by how this theory is applied in practice. Veld covers about 80% of our country and so is an important natural resource, providing many ecosystem services that are vital to our survival. Most veld is used for livestock and game ranching, but is also vital for biodiversity, conservation and recreation." Quest Magazine

"Topics covered include an introduction with important legislation, natural resources management (soil, vegetation, water), ecological principles and practices such as property planning, grazing systems, fire management and the control of unwanted plants. Two appendixes lists declared weeds and invader plants as well as herbicides commonly used to control unwanted plants during veld and environmental management." Afgriland
