The Lourens River is about 23 kilometres (14 mi) long, flowing from the
Hottentots Holland Mountains into
False Bay at
Strand. Its upper reaches are relatively undisturbed and are privately owned. However, the lower part of the river flows through developed areas as well as past
fynbos and plantations of invasive alien trees. This natural area is threatened by pollution as well as by invasive alien weeds such as
Kikuyu grass and the
Black Wattle tree.[1]
