Trees in Krugersdorp
Krugersdorp faces two ways. To the east are the older town suburbs and mine land of Chamdor and Kagiso, with bluegum rows and big garden pines. To the north and west lies the Magaliesberg side: Muldersdrift venues and smallholdings, the plots along the Hekpoort road and the open farmland around the Cradle of Humankind and Magaliesburg village. Here black wattle and gums crowd stream banks, and indigenous trees grow on the ridges. Thunderstorms and lightning are fierce on this high ground, and frost is harder in the valleys. Smallholders, farmers, venues and homeowners ask for windbreak clearing, invader removal and trimming. Check whether indigenous trees are protected, and check the listing for invaders on your land.
The requests we see from Krugersdorp usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: protective gear for farm workers cutting gums, wattle and firewood
- Homeowners: a helmet set and chaps for cutting up fallen branches and braai wood
- Businesses and commercial property: safety kit for grounds staff to meet workplace safety duties
