Some
of the preparation work showing photos at identified GPS points. Background Ally
applied and has received funding from the Table Mountain Fund to develop a GIS
based course for school geography classes, addressing the school ciriculum
requirements.
She chose the Source to Sea management plan, as a basis and has identified a
route, 5 participating schools with enthusiastic teachers and the Friends groups
in the area. The course is aimed at senior studnets. The different sections have

The Routes The
river route is broken up into sections. Starting up at the source of the
Princesskasteel River in the Table Mountain National Park at Elephants Eye cave
and following it to the mouth of the Greater Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve
where it flows into False Bay. The route is about 8km long starting at about 600
meters above sea level and descending to sea level. It is through National
Parks, provincial and local government, private residential, some commercial
and industrial land, and then finally the Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve. 
Showing
some of the lower Keysers River areas. Some
of what the children will do.
-
The students will be divided
into groups. Each group will consist of representatives from each school.
This will help with social and learning opportunity
for an exchange of views.
-
Each group will do a section and
then combine and summerise the overall activity findings before the end of
the day at a picnic.
-
They will reference GPS
points along the way and identify places of interest, sampling points for a
mini SASS (water quality readings).
-
Monitor the catchment
-
A local community volunteer
"Friends group representative" will accompany each of the groups
and give additional background information about the area along the
different sections.
-
Take photos and use a GPS.
-
The Zandvlei section will involve
canoe and walking parts.
-
This should be fun and a real
adventure for all.
-
Each group will be transported
to and from the starting and end points.
