• So that BüllsPort does not have to limit its nature conservation measures to the bare minimum in times of drought.

• Decide which adoption suits you best: the green or the golden category? The different benefits are listed in the next paragraph (“what to look forward to…”).
  Green (like the quiver tree’s crown): N$ 590 – You will join the circle of adoptive parents for our Ambassador Tree 001 (“MISS NAUkLuFT”).
  Golden (like the quiver tree’s umbel): N$ 5,000 – Pick your quiver tree on the map or in the photo gallery, write down its number, and give it a name. Only trees that have not yet been adopted are available.
  Current rate of exchange (1 N$ = 1 South African Rand).
• Please download and fill in the adoption form with credit or debit card authorisation.
• Kindly scan and send it to us via email (info@buellsport.com).
• As soon as we have received the amount, we will send you a confirmation. You have then officially adopted your quiver tree – and a lot to look forward to!

• A personal certificate of adoption, which we will send you as a PDF document.
• Regular news from the world of the Naukluft Mountains, concerning nature conservation and other developments on BüllsPort (Facebook, website, a quarterly newsletter).

• The quiver tree represents like no other plant the pristine nature of the Naukluft mountains, which BüllsPort Lodge & Farm has protected for decades.
• With its economical water consumption and precautionary measures by storing water in the stem, branches and leaves, the quiver tree (like BüllsPort) can survive longer periods of drought.
• With its blossom in the middle of the dry season, the quiver tree (like BüllsPort) proves an unswerving trust in better times to come.
• The quiver tree is one of Namibia’s national symbols, the heraldic plant of Namibia’s South and one of the symbols of Namibian tourism.
• The quiver tree also stands for nature as the basis of human existence. Original inhabitants made quivers from it.
• The quiver tree is the most distinctive tree in the Naukluft Mountains.
• And who do you think gave the famous Quiver Tree Gorge Trail at BüllsPort its name? 😉
