The preserve contains over a hundred plant species, including 4 that are
endangered. The endangered
Cape Rain Frog (Breviceps gibbosus) is one of the many small animals that have been seen here. In spring, the park becomes very colourful as the indigenous
fynbos bursts into flower.
This small reserve is managed by the City of Cape Town, but faces considerable challenges. Not least of which are invasive alien plants such as
Pine trees and
Kikuyu grass. The reserve’s small size and isolation from other natural areas also make species extinction a much greater risk. [3][4]
