The indigenous nursery which is staffed by volunteers, closed down at the end of March 2013.
The nursery had to close as the City of Cape Town’s flora management policy cannot allow propagation within a reserve due to the risks of hybridisation and invasive species.
The Helderberg Nature Reserve is located in Somerset West.
It is owned and managed by the City of Cape Town with the support of the Friends of the Helderberg Nature Reserve.
The Reserve reaches up as far as the cliff faces. The peaks above the Reserve are managed by Cape Nature.
In case of emergency:
