Knysna’s Green Heart in Trouble

A Night of a Thousand Drawings.

Sounds like something out of the Arabian Nights, but it is a fund-raiser right here in Knysna to be held over the Easter Weekend. Quite excing. Organised by the Knysna Arts Society, the event will exhibit the work of hundreds of local arsts who will each donate at least one drawing on A5 paper that will be sold for R150 –whether done by a famous arst or an unknown.

The money will go to the green heart of Knysna - the beauful 10ha Pledge Nature Reserve - just a stone’s throw away from Knysna’s congested, diesel-snking Main Road. (Where’s that bypass guys?)

Not only is it lovely, with a dozen walking trails, but it is a haven for 380 species of plants, 101 species of birds and contains three biomes –forest, fynbos and Albany thicket. At the top secon is the endangered Garden Route Shale Fynbos. There are also seven endangered fynbos species that are growing there happily

It is an excellent place for school children to learn about the environment: just up Grey Street and then into Fitchat Street. Knysna tourism needs to get involved to promote Pledge. Pledge is special - but it’s baling financially.

There is really only one person keeping Pledge Nature Reserve going: local horculturist Nanna Joubert.

Nanna does not get paid, but works her fingers to the bone to keep this Pledge going. If she reaches exhauson, Pledge Nature Reserve will go to pot.

Nanna desperately wants to get sustainable funding for the reserve. The ideal would be to get a big corporate to pay for the running of the reserve as part of their social responsibility programme.

Nanna is a naturalist, not a fund-raiser.

“I don’t like doing it and I’m no good at it,” she laughs.

Pledge faces many problems, including:

• The municipality used to give Pledge a grant-in-aid of R150,000. This has fizzled out.

• The sewerage line from the prison comes through the reserve and there are oen sewage spills into the streams. Bad for the environment and the snk means the reserve has to close. The KM did not even have these manholes marked on its plans.

• The prison land bordering the reserve is bursng with aliens and their seeds spread into the reserve. Nanna suggested the prison move their fence back and let Pledge manage their land, but the answer was no. A shame – and the prison has a legal duty to clear aliens from its property. They must do it.

• There is serious erosion at Kloof Street that fills Pledge’s streams with mud.

• There are only two paid employees and the reserve is just “cking over” from one month to the next – or unl Nanna reaches burn-out.

So please:

• Support the Night of a Thousand Drawings exhibion above Tai Shan in Waterfront Drive on 18th and 19th April.

• Make a donaon to Pledge Nature Reserve Trust, Nedbank 1149003650 or on hps://www.pledgenaturereserve.org/

• If you are a corporate and want to save an environmental and educaonal gem, phone Nanna on 082 773 4118.

• If you are good at raising funds, contact Nanna. Pledge needs you! Remember Churchill’s quote: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
