Invasive plants

The Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act 43 of 1983, as amended, regulates, amongst other things, ‘Weeds and invader plants’. It places weeds and invader plants into three categories: Category 1 - Weeds Prohibited plants. Category 2 - Declared invader plants Plants with a commercial application that may only be grown in demarcated areas. Category 3 - Declared invader plants No further planting allowed. Existing plants must be prevented from spreading.

The table below contains some of the invader plants found in the Misty Cliffs area.
