Floral carpet covers Helderberg Nature Reserve after fire

18 October 2022

A stunning burst of new growth is revitalising Helderberg Nature Reserve

​Caption: A carpet of beautiful sonsorrels (Heliophila meyeri) covers much of the Helderberg Nature Reserve in a resurgence of new plant growth. The species is stimulated by fire, and was last seen in such proliferation after the 2006 wildfire. A stroll along Woodie's walk and sections of the trail to West Peak give stunning panoramic views of the mass flowering.
