The Blaauwberg Conservation Area
(BCA), a unique area of
approximately 2 000 ha
comprising a rich mosaic of
natural, cultural and historical
elements, is located 25 km north
of the centre of Cape Town,
South Africa. It is regarded as
a global biodiversity hotspot,
it harbours a unique treasure of
cultural historical artefacts
and has the potential to become
an open-air classroom which is
easily accessible to millions of
people in its proximity. It also
provides a strategic visual link
between Table Mountain and
Robben Island and provides
opportunities for a multitude of
recreation activities. |

BCA Events - 2013 |
|
The FoBCA Committee decided to
focus on walks rather than talks
during 2013. This approach will
give us all the opportunity to
enjoy the wonderful environment
of the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve
(BNR) which we are able to
access only as organised groups
at this stage. |
|
The next two walks are on
Saturday 30 March and Saturday
27 April 2013. |
|
Join us for an Easter sunset
walk on 30 March to enjoy the
spectacular views from the top
of Blouberg Hill. |

Blouberg Hill overnight
accommodation has new name |
|
Numerous entries were received
for the competition naming the
overnight accommodation. After
considerable deliberation, the
committee decided on the name
submitted by Suretha Dorse. The
winning name is "Montispectus". |
|
The name, meaning "to behold the
mountain", is the species name
given to Scelotes
montispectus, the
Blaauwbergstrand Dwarf Burrowing
Skink, which was first
discovered in this locality in
2002. Read more about this on
the Montispectus accommodation
page. |
|
Montispectus is open to the
public, a reservation form and
more information is available on
this website. |
