Cape Town - A project to rehabilitate and save the Lourensford Alluvium Fynbos vegetation along the Lourens River is set to provide short-term and long-term job opportunities.
The project by Vergelegen Wine Estate in Somerset West is set to launch to coincide with Biological Diversity Day, which is on Saturday.
Vergelegen risk and commercial manager Leslie Naidoo said the environmental endeavour intends to rehabilitate eroded watercourses, store and replant 15 000 indigenous plants, and save the Lourensford Alluvium Fynbos vegetation on the Lourens River.
“The project saved rehabilitated wetlands and halted sediment contamination of the Lourens River, which is the only river in South Africa where a section of adjoining land is a protected natural environment,” said the manager.
