 | Kloofendal represents fine examples of pristine Bankenveld vegetation. Invasive alien vegetation is a problem and Friends of Kloofendal work on control of invasive alien vegetation, through our own work meets and by collaborating with other community-service groups. The recent (2009/10 and 2010/11) rainy seasons have resulted in large amounts of growth, particularly of the invasive aliens. Progress has been good in some areas, such as below Swift Street. Please join us on our regular work meet on the second Saturday of every month. Jurgen Hammarstöm at 011-763-5504 or 083-546-1199 |
