Pledge Nature Reserve - Knysna

We are still recovering from the storms and flooding and have been clearing up all the mess and busy doing some repairs to bridges. We lost a quite a few trees, mostly Keurbooms but also a glorious big Forest Elder.
We will reopen as soon as we can confirm safety for our visitors. Watch out for the announcement of opening day on this page.
In the meantime, all sorts of beautiful things are happening in the fungi world after the rains!

Wetlands matter more than you think

Wetlands are natural water filters that help clean our rivers and estuaries by trapping pollution and sediment. They store floodwater, which helps protect homes, roads and farms from damage during heavy rain. Wetlands also support a wide range of plants and animals, many of which rely on these habitats to survive. Conserving wetlands helps protect biodiversity, supports water security and keeps ecosystems healthy for future generations. By recording wetland species on iNaturalist, you help build valuable knowledge that supports conservation efforts.
