Bracken Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Brackenfell, South Africa.
The 36-hectare reserve contains Cape Flats Sand Fynbos and Swartland Granite Renosterveld vegetation, supporting more than 160 native plant species.
The site transformed from a granite quarry in the 1950s to a landfill before becoming a nature reserve dedicated to preserving endangered ecosystems.
Local residents participate in environmental programs and volunteer activities focused on maintaining the natural heritage of the Western Cape region.
Visitors can explore the reserve daily from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM through walking trails that wind through indigenous gardens and natural landscapes.
Ten plant species found in the reserve exist exclusively within Cape Town's boundaries and face immediate danger of extinction.
