Springside Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Hillcrest, South Africa.
The Springside Nature Reserve encompasses 21 hectares of diverse landscapes including forest sections, grasslands, wetlands, and a flowing stream through the property.
Established in 1948, the reserve resulted from a collaboration between the Wildlife Society and the Hillcrest town board to preserve local ecosystems.
The reserve maintains a resource center where environmental education programs connect local children with indigenous wildlife and plant species.
Visitors can access two marked hiking trails, the Umdoni and Protea paths, while enjoying picnic areas with tables and braai facilities.
The reserve contains an interactive sundial where visitors standing on marked calendar positions cast shadows indicating the current time.
