Hello everyone,
The next WESSA Algoa Bay Branch alien vegetation clearing will be on this Saturday 07 March 2026 from 08:30 to 10:30. We will be meeting again at the Fat Tracks Adventure Trail Centre in Overbaakens Road opposite the Astron Filling Station on the William Moffett Expressway. We are concentrating on this particular part of the Baakens River Valley because of the many different alien plants which are stifling the natural vegetation. Look out for the WESSA feather banner.
The main purpose of these clearings is to stem the spread of the various invasive alien species like the Port Jackson Willow and Inkberry, which occur around this area, and seriously threaten the sensitive indigenous bush. They are also a fire hazard. The objective is to eradicate these alien plants and give the local vegetation a good chance to recover and re-establish itself. 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 Mervyn on 082 875 4210
We look forward to seeing you there.
The WESSA ABB Team.
