Visit the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve this Winter
There is no excuse not to explore the City’s nature reserves this winter. Hikes, guided walks, bird-watching and environmental education programmes are among the activities on offer despite the cold weather. Residents are encouraged to visit the City of Cape Town’s nature reserves during winter to enjoy the beauty of nature and learn more about the environment in a fun and interactive manner.
The first guided hike which will focus on plants and their identification along the new Coastal Dune Hiking Trail will take place at the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve on 1st July and 5th August 2017 between 9am and 1pm. Those who are interested in the walk can meet at the Environmental Education Centre (log cabin) at Eerste Steen Resort.
The trail winds its way through the threatened Cape Flats dune strandveld vegetation and follows historical routes used in the area dating back to the early 1900s. Visitors to this reserve can also overnight at Montispectus, a cabin located on top of Blaauwberg Hill. Booking is essential.
