Odendaal Conservation Area
About
The Odendaal Conservation Area is approximately 0,7 hectares in extent and consists of critically endangered Swartland Shale Renosterveld that is closely linked to the surrounding vegetation. This allows the site to act as a corridor to other properties where this critically endangered vegetation is found, including Durbanville Nature Reserve. This small conservation area boasts high levels of biodiversity which allows fauna and flora species to thrive and creates a picturesque display for visitors.
The conservation area boasts a tremendous variety of plant species within its precinct that includes the endangered Serruria brownii (Bottlebrush Spiderhead), Gladiolus alatus (Little turkey), Leucadendron salignum (Sunshine conebrush), Galerella pulverulenta (Small grey mongoose) and includes many more Swartland Shale Renosterveld species that desperately need to be safeguarded in an ever-expanding urban sprawl.
