We are glad to announce that the City of Tshwane has reopened the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve under the Level 3 Lockdown regulations.
We are sure that everyone looks forward to a walk in nature again. We urge everyone to please continue to act responsibly by sanitizing and to wear your face masks at the entrance building and when in close proximity to others.
Please note that the City of Tshwane has decided to keep the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve closed until 25 July under the amended Lockdown Alert Level 4 regulations.
We know that many people are confused and unhappy that the reserve remains closed, even though parks and beaches may remain open. The decision was made by the City of Tshwane, due to lack of Covid-19 compliance by visitors witnessed in CoT reserves.
We hope that the reserve will reopen at the end of the extended Level 4 lockdown. Until then, please stay healthy and safe.
The City of Tshwane has taken the decision to close the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve until 11 July 2021 due to increased lockdown restrictions under level 4.
The Friends of the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve will continue updating the website and Facebook page whenever we receive more information about the nature reserve and its opening times.
We have been informed by City of Tshwane (CoT) Nature Conservation that the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve will be going cashless from 1 July 2021. Only debit and credit cards will be accepted as a form of payment. Friends of the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve members still enjoy free access with their membership cards.
Furthermore CoT tariff increases will be as follows from 1 July 2021:
Adults (18 years +) – R17.00
Children (under 18 years) – R7.00
Pensioners (60 +) and persons with disabilities – R7.00
