Hello everyone.
The WESSA Algoa Bay Branch February 2025 alien clearing will be on this Saturday 08 February 2025 in Golf Road, Walmer from 09:00 – 11:00. We have been clearing this spot in the Baakens River Valley since November 2024 and it still needs a lot of work. We will again start from the straight stretch of Golf Road overlooking the valley. Access to this starting point will be easiest from either Short Road or 14th Avenue. Turn out of Short Road into Club Road, which becomes Golf Road. Look out for the WESSA feather banner.
The main purpose of these clearings is to further stem the spread of the Rooikrans and other alien invaders in environmentally vulnerable areas. Invasive species still seriously threaten the sensitive indigenous bush. The objective is to eradicate these alien plants and give the local vegetation a good chance to recover and re-establish itself. Your commitment to these efforts is greatly appreciated. We will provide some tools, but please bring your own bow saw or lopper (if possible). Also bring a hat, water, sunscreen and normal garden gloves.
For more information contact Gisela on 073 124 2045.
We look forward to seeing you there.
The WESSA ABB Team.
Advance Notice: Our next beach clean-up will be on Saturday 15 February 2025 at the Bluewater Bay swimming Beach. More information to follow.
