Trees of the Palmiet
The Palmiet Nature Reserve covers various
terrains from grassland to forest. The bulk however is riverine. Many
of the established trees along the river course have been washed away
by flooding over recent years.The Palmiet plant has dissappeared
from the reserve. Alien trees and plants are also taking their toll. Some
trees are also under threat from muti (herbal) collectors. However there are still
areas where visitors can follow trails through indigenous forest and escape
from the nearby city life. Click on the blue text for more information.
