Melville Koppies Nature Reserve

Melville Koppies: Links
The Melville
Residents Association works closely with the Koppies, particularly
on security issues. Klipriviersberg
Nature Reserve is one of the most impressive nature reserves in the
Witwatersrand area. Jozikids promotes the Koppies as
a destination for tourists and children in the Johannesburg area. AA Travel Guides is the largest
online travel database in South Africa. It has links to the Melville
Koppies on its Melville
theme page and on its Melville suburb
description page. Joburg City Parks manages the
Koppies as a joint venture with the Management Committee. Modderfontein Nature Reserve (276
hectares) is owned by AECI and includes numerous important SA Heritage
features. Access is controlled and all walks must be accompanied by a
guide from the Modderfontein Conservation Society. The reserve
incorporates grassland, exotic woodland plus 3 large water bodies and
boasts an historic record of over 280 bird species. Most of the natural
wildlife occurring in the highveld are present, plus 4 species of large
antelope. Last but not least Artslink.co.za is TJ de Klerk's
real business when he's not walking. TJ hosts this Website, gave us a
kick start when we needed one, and has been a source of advice and
often comfort. |
