Welcome to the Friends of Rietvlei Website

The Friends of Rietvlei provides assistance and support for the management of the Rietvlei Wetland Reserve, Cape Town. We are also involved in environmental issues in the Blaauwberg Area as most such issues have a direct or indirect effect on Rietvlei and the Diep River Estuary.
