Hacking volunteers needed for Cliff Path

Hacking volunteers needed for Cliff Path

A group of volunteers, coordinated by Paula Combrink, met last week to clear aliens on the Cliff Path. They tackled the all-invasive kikuyu grass. “There is a certain satisfaction in ripping it out by the roots and freeing the indigenous vegetation of its stranglehold,” said Anina Lee, chair of the Cliff Path Management Group (CPMG).

In just one hour they uprooted enough kikuyu to fill a bakkie with blue trash bags full of the invasive grass. “But that's just a start – kikuyu is everywhere,” says Anina.

This group will meet for just an hour once a month to make a difference on the Cliff Path. Many more volunteers are needed.

If you enjoy walking on the cliff path, imagine how much more you would enjoy it knowing you helped to keep it beautiful.
