Conservation:
Ons het begin!
The much-awaited planting of trees on Lynnwood Road has started with the first 30 tree wisterias planted.
Work on Lynnwood Road seem to have come to a halt this year, so we’re unsure when the others will be planted.
Ons hou jou op die hoogte oor die toedrag van sake.
Bont Huijs Kunsateljee, in samewerking met die Pretoria stadsraad, asook die hoofborg Halfway Lexus, gaan binnekort 230 nuwe bome op Lynnwoodweg plant. Hierdie is die eerste fase van ‘n paar hervestigings.
Die inisiatief is in reaksie op die onlangse slagting van honderde koorsbome en ander, weens padverleggings.
Chiko and Mike make up our watering team whilst the road is under construction.
Following the devastating loss of several adult owls in the vicinity recently, we initiated the installation of two owl boxes on the Ridge Square on Lynnwood property to assist with breeding – proudly sponsored by Halfway Lexus. Een boks sal die gevlekte ooruil (spotted-eagle-owl) lok en die ander die alombekende nonnetjiesuil (barn owl).
Kontak gerus vir Eco Solutions vir jou eie boks!
Ons het onlangs ’n pragtige meerstammige kuskoraalboom in een van Die Wilgers se parke geplant.
Die ateljee is soms gasheer vir matriekafskeidfoto’s. Die jaar se fooie is geskenk aan die Skuilkrans Kopje-reservaat.
Van die fondse is aangewend om 10 aloe pretoriensis aan te skaf. Die aalwyne gaan hervestig word in reservate in die stad.

Die kimlyn van Pretoria verteenwoordig die uitwerking van verstedeliking op die natuur. Die vier spesies hier is almal endemies tot ons area en kon gered word voor stootskrapers ‘n nuwe informele nedersetting begin skraap het. Die verdordes aan die regterkant kon nie gered word nie.
Lost Habitat by Willie van Rensburg
A powerful statement highlighting the plight of nature conservation and the extinction of species due to their loss of natural habitat, medicinal harvesting, urbanisation, agricultural expansion and overgrazing.
Invasive Species
Invasive plant species are dangerous to indigenous plant species because they outcompete native plants for vital resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients. They often grow faster and lack natural predators, allowing them to spread rapidly and dominate ecosystems. This leads to a reduction in biodiversity, as indigenous plants are displaced, and can disrupt the balance of ecosystems, affecting local wildlife that depends on native flora for food and habitat. Ultimately, invasive species can alter soil composition and even affect water availability, making it harder for native species to thrive. For more information, visit https://invasives.org.za/

Halfway Lexus is sponsoring 170 white pears (drolpere) and 60 tree wisterias (vanwykshoute).
Beide bome is inheems en edemies tot ons groter area.
We’ll keep you posted on this very exciting venture!
Dankie byvoorbaat aan Halfway Lexus Pretoria vir hul ruimhartige groenskenking.
