Taaibosch is an off-grid camp. We make our own power, pump and treat our own water, and look after our own waste, all while sharing the farm with plenty of wildlife. These posters explain how it all works, for young (and old) power, water and nature detectives. Click a poster to see it full size, or download the A4 PDF to print.
