Wynberg Park
A piece of land owned by the City of Cape Town. Managed as a park it is regularly mowed. It includes records of some highly rare species that have not been seen in recent years. It is in desperate need of management for biodiversity including implementing an aided fire regime to stimulate remnant seeds. See Wynberg Hill for the surrounds.
