Spring has sprung in Cape Town, and to celebrate this, the City invites residents and visitors to join in on the free guided walks and festivities to be held at various city nature reserves.
Mayoral committee member for spatial planning and environment Marian Nieuwoudt said residents were blessed to be surrounded by so much natural beauty but often overlooked it.
“We live and work close to these beautiful nature reserves and conservation areas, but hardly make the time to experience them first-hand. I encourage residents and visitors to join in on these guided spring walks and for parents to use this as an opportunity to expose their children to a new experience in their neighbourhood.
“It’s time for locals and visitors to get out and up close with our breathtaking natural surroundings,” she said
The festivities will kick off with a spring event at Tygerberg Nature Reserve on Saturday, which will include hourly guided nature walks, crafts and food stalls, kids’ activities, cannon firing and cheese and wine tasting.
