THE AIM OF MUIZENBERG PARK'S PROJECT IS TO RESTORE ITS WETLANDS TO ITS FORMER GLORY.
A group of environmental activists are hard at work restoring Muizenberg Park stream and wetlands to their former glory and making sure the ecosystem thrives.
People's Post spoke with spokesperson for the Friends of Muizenberg Park (FMP), John Venn, who has been spearheading the revamp since the beginning of last month.
The park is owned and managed by the City of Cape Town.
FMP is a non-profit organisation that aims to promote environmental awareness.
“Muizenberg Park is a meeting place of no less than four different types of fynbos,” Venn said.
“One of these, the Cape Lowlands Freshwater Wetlands, is classified by botanists as being critically endangered, as a result of urban development.
