Fire is a natural and essential part of fynbos ecology, triggering regeneration and new life. After a wildfire, the landscape begins to recover, creating a short window where active intervention can make a lasting difference. Invasive alien plants can rapidly take hold, outcompeting indigenous species, reducing water availability, and increasing future fire risk. This post-fire period offers a unique and cost-effective opportunity to clear invasives and support natural recovery. By acting now, we restore biodiversity, improve water resources, and reduce long-term fire threats. At the same time, this work creates meaningful employment and supports local livelihoods. Together, we can turn fire into an opportunity for resilient landscapes and thriving communities.

Alien Clearing Campaign

Help us clear 5,571 hectares of invasive alien vegetation and give native fynbos a chance to recover. Our target of R4.4 million per annum supports the employment of five community-led contracting teams, each comprising 10 individuals, as well as one dedicated project manager.
