What to know locally in Free State
Tool hire shops in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem rent chainsaws, towable chippers and stump grinders, and farm co-op stores often stock petrol saws and chain.

What grows around Free State

In the east, near Bethlehem, Clarens and Harrismith, willows and poplars line the streams and spread along wetlands. Winters bring hard frost and, in the east, the odd snowfall, while summer hail can strip a crown in minutes.
