The Magaliesberg is home to unique and endemic plant species, many now listed as rare on the South African Red List and threatened by poaching, climate change, and invasive species.
Join us on Tuesday, 12 May 19:00 at the clubhouse for a talk by Kayleigh Murray (UP & Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK), introducing a Richard Watmough-funded project to establish a legal, diverse conservation collection of four key Magaliesberg plant species.
Learn about the focus species and best practices for building and maintaining conservation collections. With 7 years’ experience at Stellenbosch University Botanical Gardens, Kayleigh brings valuable insight into this important aspect of environmental stewardship.
