A Note on the Dead Trees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The prohibition on climbing or touching the Deadvlei trees is genuinely important. The trees have stood for approximately 900 years because the aridity has preserved them; human weight causes structural damage that this preservation cannot compensate for. Rangers are present in the park and the fine for touching the trees is significant. Observe and photograph; do not touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
