Cyrtanthus leucanthus, the beautiful creamy Witbergpypie, which is on the Red List of threatened species and rated as Endangered, is flowering late summer on our mountainsides - right in the danger zone of the proposed bypass road. It is in danger of becoming extinct if this proposal is allowed to go ahead.

Fernkloof News

Our precious Hermanus erica, Erica hermani, is alive and well. It is flowering on small healthy plants above Hermanus Heights in its preferred habitat. This erica is seriously threatened in the wild and is endemic to the area. It is in even more danger as it sits fair and square under the pylons on the mountainside - the site that is being proposed for a billion-dollar bypass road some time in the future. ROB, Residents opposed to the Bypass Road, are working to get the municipal and provincial plans for this eliminated for eternity. Help the ROB effort!
