The Van Stadens River Wild Flower Reserve (Afrikaans: Van Stadens-veldblomreservaat) near Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa, is one of the oldest nature reserves in the country.[1]

Location

The park covers 600 hectares and lies 40 km west of Port Elizabeth, on an old stretch at the top of Van Stadens Pass. The Van Stadens River forms the western border, the N2 road runs through the area, and from here one has a good view of the gorge of the River, the Van Stadens Bridge, and northeast toward the Lady Slipper Trail. The reserve was founded in 1951 and is owned by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality.

Uses

The main purpose of the reserve is to grow unique, indigenous plants, but it is also used as a centre for environmental education. A traditional Xhosa hut, household articles, and a kraal with farm equipment give insight into Xhosa culture. There is also an arboretum and a plant nursery there. Walking, hiking, and mountain biking trails as well as picnic areas are available.

Flora and fauna

Cape fynbos is the natural biome here. Many species of proteas, orchids, and Erica can be found, as well as succulent plants and rare cycads. The lily Cyrtanthus stadensis is endemic to the park. Among the 60 species of trees found here is the rare Cape wing-nut (Atalaya capensis), only growing here, in the surrounding mountains, and near Suurberg Pass. There is also a large grove of Cape chestnut, Colodendrum capense. Notable fauna include the threatened Cape dwarf chameleon and certain species of frog. 170 species of birds have been spotted here.

Rock art

The park is generally held to contain the southernmost rock art in Africa.
