EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Winter rains are most definitely here! In this quarter 216.6mm of rain fell with 155.6mm of rain falling in the previous quarter bring the total to 373.2mm for the past six months. Seasonal wetlands are still filled indicating a good soaking into the ground and a rise in the water table. More and more flowering plants are being seen as the landscape is transformed from a once dried area to one lush and filled with colour from the variety of flowers. Over the past quarter False Bay Nature Reserve received 28906 visitors through the two access gates at the reserve. That is an average of 314 persons visiting the reserve per day for the quarter. That brings the total visitors to the reserve for the calendar year thus far to 55285 persons. Even though entry fees are no longer being taken at the entrance gates the reserve still generates an income from the hire and use of the multifunction hall facility at Zeekoevlei. In the past quarter R36 199 of income was received and paid to the city for usage of the facilities. Capital funds were received this quarter to continue the wall construction along the western fence. The wall is proving successful however installing it is a challenge with a number of incidents were reported by the contractor. These incidents ranged from unsafe working conditions, stone throwing and assault on staff. A local NGO; AWQAF SA approached the reserve to assist with tree planting at three schools namely; Alexander Sinton High school, Al Azhar High school and Lwazi Primary school held on 10 September 2019. The tree planting was a contribution to Arbour day, but also seen as a symbol indicating peace in light of the gender based violence which is under the spotlight of our City and country. On the 13th August 2019 12 EPWP workers were appointed to work at the reserve as general workers. In addition to those 12 a clerk position was also received and filled. WE were happy to welcome back one of our previously employed epwp supervisors in the clerk. 2. HIGHLIGHTS & CHALLENGES Highlights: More capital funds received for wall construction western fence 12 new EPWP general workers employed 1 clerk position EPWP for store management Change in staff structure (all operational staff reporting to one manager) Challenges: Desperate need for a truck driver Desperate need to retain worker staff for longer terms Need for correct vehicles for staff transportation Current permanent staff working outside of job description to cover for the lack of staff resources 2 City of Cape Town Quarterly Report – 01 July to 30 September 2019 False Bay Nature Reserve | False Bay -natuurreservaat | ULondolozo lweNdalo False Bay 3. CONSERVATION PLANNING Time and effort is being put into developing infrastructure plans with the aim of developing maintenance plans for each of the buildings and infrastructure. A pre maintenance plan (PMP) will be drawn from those plans in an effort to minimise the amount and cost of repairs and maintenance required for our reserve infrastructure. The area manager along with all the site managers and people and conservation officer attends four branch meetings for the year with the next one schedule on the 05th December 2019. We also attend a regional meeting every two months and a monthly FBNR managers meeting, next being held the 22nd October 2019. A protected area advisory committee meeting is scheduled for the 28th November 2019. It is here that feedback is given on reserve activities and well as plans are tabled and discussed. It is also a forum in which to hear feedback from partner organisations and other city line functions that have an interest in the protected area. 4. FLORA Alien clearing planned for False Bay Nature Reserve All the management blocks of FBNR is planned to have alien clearing done within it. This clearing will be done through contractors which will be managed by the Invasive Alien Species Unit. Wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis) and wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) clearing We are constantly clearing wild mustard and relish off Eastern shore at Zeekoevlei section. Spring is the growing period of these species and to date we removed approximately 11 tons. The clearing of this species will be on going throughout its growing period. Paterson’s curse (Echium plantagineum) A few of these plants were removed from Eastern shore of the Zeekoevlei section as we would not want it to establish itself in the area. As we spot them we are removing it as soon as possible to avoid establishment. Vegetation monitoring Vegetation monitoring was conducted in relation to the Micro frog project at Rondevlei section. This monitoring was conducted with Leighan Mossop (Monitoring and Evaluation Co-ordinator) and one of her interns. This vegetation monitoring will be compared to the vegetation found at Kenilworth racecourse were the micro frog is currently found. Staff conducting monitoring in the Erica Field (S.

  • Driftsands Nature Reserve Complex PAMP
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Driftsands Nature Reserve is situated on the Cape Flats, approximately 25 km east of Cape Town on the National Route 2, in the Western Cape Province. The reserve is situated adjacent to the Medical Research Centre in Delft and is bounded by highways and human settlement on all sides. Driftsands is bound in the northwest by the R300 and the National Route 2 and Old Faure road in the south. The northern boundary is bordered by private landowners, while the eastern boundary is formed by Mfuleni Township. The Nature Reserve falls within the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality. The reserve experiences a Mediterranean-type climate with warm dry summers, and cool wet winter seasons. Gale force winds from the south east prevail during the summer months, while during the winter months, north westerly winds bring rain. Driftsands Nature Reserve represents of one of the largest remaining remnants of intact Cape Flats Dune Strandveld which is classified as Endangered, and harbours at least two Endangered Cape Flats endemics, Muraltia mitior and Passerina paludosa. The Kuils River with associated floodplain wetlands, dune strandveld depressions and seeps are representative of a wetland type that has been subjected to high cumulative loss, and provides regulatory ecosystem services such as flood attenuation, ground water recharge/discharge and water quality improvement. The site provides access for cultural and/or religious practices and provides opportunities for quality curriculum based environmental education. Driftsands Nature Reserve is given the highest priority rating within the Biodiversity Network (BioNet), the fine scale conservation plan for the City of Cape Town.

  • Literature Review
    Relationships between Conservators, Community Partners and Urban Conservation Areas: A Case Study of Nature Reserves on the Cape Flats Lameez Eksteen 2646105 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Magister Artium Degree in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Professor Sally Peberdy 15 November 2012 i Abstract Relationships between conservators, community partners and urban conservation areas: A case study of nature reserves on the Cape Flats. Cape Town is a unique city. It has a global biodiversity hotspot, in the midst of an urban area. Historically, nature conservation practice excluded and marginalized certain groups of people based on their race and class. This has led to peoples‘ disconnection from nature. Rapid biodiversity loss is a major concern for conservators. In the last three decades, there has been a paradigm shift in conservation practice in certain parts of the world. The Cape Flats Nature programme based in Cape Town followed suit and aimed to stimulate a bottom-up participatory approach to conservation and replace the traditional top-down management strategy. The programme was tasked to reconcile the challenges of complex and conflicting relationships between urban poverty, unequal access to resources and biodiversity conservation. This study was aimed at investigating the relationships between conservation management, community partners and urban conservation areas. These relationships are vital for the progression of new conservation practice in places where people live and work. In addition, the transformative aspects of conservation in relation to social inclusion and the shift in conservation approaches was investigated. The study was conducted at five of Cape Town‘s nature reserves, Edith Stephens Wetland Park, Macassar Dunes, Harmony Flats, Wolfgat and Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserves.

  • Growing Nature Priorities for Managing the Natural Systems on Our Sites
    6 Growing Nature Priorities for managing the natural systems on our sites Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle. - Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), Austro-German poet We have called this chapter “Growing Nature”, but before we go on we need to observe that, of course, all our chapters have been around growing nature. As our social and natural systems are so interconnected, it is somewhat artificial to separate them out. However, there are particular considerations concerning the adaptive co-management of natural systems on and around our sites. In this chapter, we draw some broad guidelines that have emerged from the experiences of Cape Town’s urban conservators. 1. Context and implications for practice Enabling the city’s natural systems to function is critical for achieving more resilient and sustainable social ecological systems, but they are threatened by a number of factors. These are described below. Challenges to urban nature sites: may cause poor seed production. Urbanisation disrupts, or even eliminates, the natural ecological processes that originally informed the biodiversity of sites. Pollution Urbanisation Nitrogen deposits from car exhausts enriches the soil – this Our cities are expanding rapidly, often in unplanned informal makes it less suitable for the Fynbos species that are adapted to settlements or poorly planned urban sprawl. This leads to the a low-nutrient regime.

  • Green Map Impacts Book Project in 2007 in Order to Help People Worldwide See and Understand the Many Tangible Results That Can Stem from Green Mapmaking
    Six New Stories Inside! Introduction Now updated with 6 new stories! Keiko Nakagawa (Director of Green Map Aichi) and Misako Yomosa (Executive Director of Green Map Japan, Inc.) conceptualized the Green Map Impacts book project in 2007 in order to help people worldwide see and understand the many tangible results that can stem from Green Mapmaking. The publication of a Green Map is not the end of the process, rather it is the starting point for a new appreciation of and engagement with community sustainability. With this book, you can feel the awareness and involvement of Mapmakers and their communities grow as positive environmental changes take place around the globe. Green Map Impacts started out with articles from the Aichi, Japan region, the prefecture that hosted the successful nature-themed Aichi Expo 2005. This book then expanded to include a selection of global Green Map impacts. Each story is written by local experts and provides first-hand insight into how their Green Map projects impacted biodiversity, education, community building, public planning, workplace practices and more. We hope Green Map Impacts’ stories will provide guidance for improving the environment and supporting climate- smart actions in your community. We invite you to get involved locally by creating and/or using Green Maps, too! Find more about each Green Map project at GreenMap.org Find this book and additional impacts at GreenMap.org/impacts What is a Green Map? A Green Map® is a locally-made map that uses Green Map Icons to highlight sustainability sites, path- ways and resources in communities worldwide.
