“Land where wild things can thrive is vital for biodiversity. Even smaller areas near cities can be islands of life, which help other ecosystems replenish and recover. We [Ferncliffe] work to expand and restore the remnant patches of this forest and its grassland fringes. And, where possible, weave them back together – like pieces of a Persian carpet.”
Another wonderful example of land restoration featured on the @restor platform, Ferncliffe is a small area of rich biodiversity on the borders of urban Pietermaritzburg. Once overrun with invasive species such as bamboo, Ferncliffe has been actively managing invasives, and replanting a rich diversity of indigenous trees. Their approach is slower than usual, choosing to plant more mature trees with a higher chance of survival, and tending them through to maturity. This approach of the right tree in the right place and at the right time is so important to encourage thriving ecosystems.
We love the work they are doing at Ferncliffe, including encouraging wildlife corridors and promoting rewilding on the land; and we encourage you to pay them a visit if you are in the area!
