potential source of conservation nursery plants and a link to the Bothasig Fynbos Reserve, helping connect urban conservation areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year sowing of Protea seeds and planting fynbos began, as did some of the plants from the City\u2019s Parks and Recreation Department and Serruria strawberry spiderhead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since May this area had remained vagrant-free, a big milestone for safety and ongoing conservation, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have logged a total of 713 volunteer man-hours so far, removing alien vegetation like Port Jackson, Paterson\u2019s Curse and wild mustard, along with countless bags of litter,&#8221; Hope said. &#8220;Encouragingly, as the area is vacated by vagrants the amount of litter has decreased noticeably.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said regular clean-ups would be a feature as would expansion of fynbos planting efforts. \u201cThis space represents something beautiful, what is possible when a community comes together, guided by a shared vision and a love for nature.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Batavia Street Fynbos Area opened in Bothasig, featuring endangered plants, community efforts, and
