List of Protected Tree Species under the National Forest Act, 1998 (Act No. 84 of 1998)
In terms of section 15(1) of the National Forests Act, 1998, no person may cut, disturb, damage or destroy any protected tree; or possess, collect, remove, transport, export, purchase, sell, donate or in any other manner acquire or dispose of any protected tree or any product derived from a protected tree, except under a licence or exemption granted by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
A person who contravenes the prohibitions is considered to have committed a first category offence, and may be convicted and sentenced to three years imprisonment, or imprisonment and a fine to be determined by the court.

NOTE: This list may change from time to time with more trees being added as protected. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure you have the most recent information. We have gone to great lengths to find weblinks (for all but two trees), from a variety of different sources, to help with the identification of the trees (a first, we think). Please inform us if you know of better reference points or any of the links are broken/incorrect.
