Precious wetlands

Looking back over the wetlants of the Zandvlei towards Muizenberg Peak is the Greater Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve which is jointly run by the City of Cape Town and Zandvlei Trust, a non-profit organization whose aims are to promote the conservation of the indigenous fauna and flora of Zandvlei and to enhance the natural resource for the benefit of all. They do amazing work in this beautiful but quite degraded area, which backs up against some of the poorer suburbs of Cape Town. The Nature Reserve is open every day to visitors, and sometimes they hold open days when staff is available to show the public around.
