In 1965 Honorary Rangers displayed a Green Flag on their vehicles for better 'visibility' while patrolling the Kruger National Park. In 1970 a Red Flag with gold wording was issued. #60Years60Facts #60YearsOfConservation #SANParksVolunteers60

In 1965 (SANParks) Honorary Rangers filed reports to the then National Parks Board (SANParks). One HR stated in his report that he wished to advise other HRs to keep a watchful eye on Volvo's & Volkswagens as they could be relied upon to consistently break the speed limits!
