During the week of Valentine's Day, we ran a fundraiser for our Environmental Education programmes, selling home-baked biscuits and plants. It was a great success, raising a total of R930-00 to buy new equipment for doing experiments!

Check out our most recent report of conservation activities!

As a result of a generous donation from Herzlia Middle School, we were finally able to purchase some much needed field equipment for environmental education!!! YAY! Our wishlist however is still long and if you would like to assist it would be greatly appreciated!

Flowers in bloom in November...

It was with sadness that we bid farewell to Alan Martin, but we have now welcomed James Cooper into our team as the new Reserve Manager. We are excited to see progress and change in the coming months.

In January this year, a fire occurred on Rondebosch Common. During a post-fire patrol, we discovered an injured Aurora House Snake. This snake has been rehabilitated in our offices since then, and on the 27th of June it was released back onto site. 

As of the 17th of June 2011, we said a fond farewell to Maya Beukes, and Alan Martin officially took over as the new Reserve Manager of KRCA. Best of luck to them both in their new life paths.

As 2010 has drawn to a close and 2011 is well underway, we would like to welcome our three new CPUT students for 2011! Congratulations Clint, Chester and Clemencia on your positions, we look forward to seeing what you can bring to our team and your sites in the year ahead! 

As of the 16th of November 2010, Working for Wetlands has dedicated a passionate workforce to help with our alien clearing efforts at Youngsfield Military Base Natural Open Space. We look forward to seeing how much of an impact they can make on this Cape Flats gem.

A successful Western Leopard Toad rehabilitation season!

We have helped three toads on their road to recovery and they will soon be released and will return to their merry toady lives! 

In celebration of Arbour Day, Ernst & Young had KRCA conduct a presentation on Cape Flats Sand Fynbos and Arbour Day at their offices in Cape Town, they then had a team of their employees spend a day getting out from behind their desks to do alien clearing at Youngsfield and enjoy a walk and picnic at KRCA.

 Youngsfield alien clearing event for Mandela Day is a finalist in the 50|50 Mandela Day competition
