Cache In Trash Out® Events
Cache In Trash Out® is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since 2002, geocachers around the world have been dedicated to improving parks and other cache-friendly places.
Date : 30/01/2016
You can arive from : 07:30
Start time : 08:00
End time : 12:00
We will meet at ground zero . This is also a secure parking spot.
There will be a log book, please remember to sign before you leave.
What we expect to be doing :
Path maintenance – e.g. weeding paving, sweeping sand & dung, trimming of plastic mole barrier edges & covering with sand, removal of gravel residue along the edges, litter clean-up & trimming of encroaching weeds / vegetation.
The park has quite a number of alien plant seedlings coming up along the path following our ecological burn in 2015, so alien clearing (hand pulling) could also be a possible activity, or even reed clearing could be looked around the bird hides & board walks…
What to bring :
1: Plastic bags for the litter.
2: Gardening Gloves
3: Any tools you think could help with the work we expecting to do.
4: Sunscreen and hats
5: Something to drink
6: Some food/ Snacks
7: Your self , family and friends
See you then and remember you can CITO any time you are out geocacaching. 
We may be lucky and have a student or education officer to assist us on the day and give us some form of environmental education at the same time in return. (this is not yet confermed but we are working on it.)
Some infomation about the Reserve:
The False Bay Nature Reserve consists of six parts: Rondevlei, Zeekoevlei, Strandfontein Birding Section, Pelican Park Section, Slangetjiebos Section and Zandwolf Coastal Section. Concerned bird lovers established Rondevlei as a bird sanctuary in 1952. Today, it is a well-run nature reserve, 290 hectares in extent, with a museum, an auditorium, a network of footpaths, viewing towers, and several bird hides named after well-known birders. There is a permanent wetland with Cape Flats sand fynbos to the north, and seasonal wetlands and Cape Flats dune strandveld in the south. About 256 species of indigenous plants grow at Rondevlei. Rare and endangered plants are strongly nurtured: These include the Cape Flats cone bush (Leucadendron levisanus), the Rondevlei spiderhead (Serruria aemula foeniculaceae) and the Cape Flats erica (Erica verticillata), which became extinct in the wild. The Cape Flats erica was discovered in a botanical garden, and has since been propagated and replanted at Rondevlei. In addition, there are 241 bird species, from ducks to herons, ibises, pelicans, weavers and more. Hippopotami (Hippopotamus amphibius) have been reintroduced, and there are 20 other mammal species, including Cape grysbok (Raphicerus melanotis), porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustralis), Cape dune mole rat (Bathyergus suillus), Cape clawless otter (Aonyx capensis) and large-spotted genet (Genetta tigrina). Twenty nine types of reptiles and eight frog species have been seen. The only indigenous fish present is the Cape galaxia (Galaxias zebratus), while introduced alien fish species include the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), banded tilapia (Tilapia sparrmanii), Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis) and sharptooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus).
