Grasses

Natural grasses found in the Reserve provide a peaceful mosaic of varying colours of greens and browns from which to soak in the enchanting views of the Knysna estuary and the distant mountains.

We wish to thank Colleen Ebersohn for her invaluable assistance in identifying the different species – 18 have been identified to date and are featured below in alphabetical order.
