Over a 100 years ago this little valley was a local dumping ground known as the Bok-se-Kloof brickfield. Since 1991 this 10 hecatre reserve has been a welcome nature sanctuary with a myriad of meandering trails. In the late 1990's a generous grant was donated by SC Johnson and Son manufacturers of a range of household products including Pedge furniture polish - hence we have today the Pledge Nature Reserve !
The cache is a small screwtop container containing only a log sheet - you will need to bring your own pen. Plse take care to place it exactly as found - you do not need to leave the path for this one.
There are two entrances : one is found in Bond Street and the bottom entrance is found through the car park near Steers / Debonairs just off the Main Road ( near Postnet).
There is a entrance fee which currently is R 20 / adults and R 10 / children.
Opening hours are
1) Via the Main Street gate - entry is flexible ( anytime that suits you during daylight hours ) subject to prior purchase of an entry ticket. These can be purchased from Polvo Coffee, Wayside Inn and / or the Knysna Toursim Office.
2) Via the Bond Street gate Mon - Fri 8am - 4pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
