Pigeon Valley, Protected nature reserve in Glenwood, Durban, South Africa

The 10-hectare Pigeon Valley Nature Reserve contains over 110 indigenous tree species and serves as a habitat for numerous forest birds.

The reserve has maintained its status as a critical conservation area in KwaZulu-Natal, protecting rare species like the Natal elm since its establishment.

Monthly guided walks organized by Friends of Pigeon Valley connect local communities with environmental education and nature appreciation initiatives.

Visitors can explore the 400-meter Natal Elm Trail, which starts at the main entrance on Princess Alice Avenue and remains open daily.

The reserve provides winter refuge for the endangered spotted ground-thrush between March and September each year.
