Zandvlei Trust

Keysers River Restoration Project

Work done so far

The project has created employment, training and skills learning, awareness has been raised in the local business community and its workers and employees. This section of the river in a predominately industrial area has been cleared of litter and dumped rubbish. Indigenous plants have been reintroduced to an area, previously dominated by exotic invassive plants for many years.
