), Delia started collecting plant specimens in 2013 and soon thereafter established the Barberton Mountainlands Nature Reserve Herbarium, where she is involved in the expansion, and physical and scientific curation of the collection. The focus of the Herbarium is the plants of the BCE and the Mountainlands Nature Reserve. From 2017 to 2021 Mrs Oosthuizen was an honorary research associate at the School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, and collaborated in several projects that included the description of novelties she collected. She was also the chairperson of the

Having become known for her regional botanical knowledge she serves as a contact point for botanists working on specific taxa, as well as for researchers in other fields, including ecology, general biodiversity studies, geology, and vertebrate and invertebrate zoology. She also contributes to the management, communication and marketing activities of Mountainlands Nature Reserve, Barberton Makhonjwa World Heritage Site, and the region in general with an emphasis on plant diversity.
