A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Fynbos Planting Day at the Batavia Street Fynbos Area đź’š.

Together, we planted 108 indigenous fynbos plants across 16 species, helping to restore and strengthen this valuable natural habitat. Every plant placed in the ground is an investment in local biodiversity and a healthier environment for future generations.

A special thank you to the City of Cape Town Biodiversity Branch for generously donating fynbos plants, and to Jacques Claassen for his financial contribution, which enabled us to purchase additional plants from the University of the Western Cape Nursery.

We are also proud to share that this planting event was officially registered as part of World Environment Day, making our collective effort part of a global movement to protect and restore nature.

To every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm—thank you. Your contribution is helping us rewild, protect, and grow the Batavia Street Fynbos Area 🙏.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who joined us for this weekends clean-up. From scouts to gardeners, geocachers and friends 🙌

We removed many small weeds that will save us a lot of work down the line, well done everyone! 🌱

There were also plenty of City Nature Challenge observations recorded 📱

We’re holding thumbs that the Scouts earn their badge!

Thank you again for your time and energy đź’š

Get ready for this week’s Fynbos Friday 🤩 We’re shining the spotlight on the Cape dune mole-rat.

This underground specialist is busy right beneath your feet, leaving behind the sandy molehills you see scattered across the Batavia Street Fynbos Area.

These solitary diggers spend almost their entire lives below ground, moving up to 500 kg of sand each month as they build their extensive tunnel systems.

Keep an eye out for those fresh mounds and hidden pathways as you explore.

Stay tuned for more monthly updates, where we share the unique species found right here in the Batavia Street Fynbos Area.
