Spring flower mowing approach for 2026

This is a news article published on the Overstrand Municipality website titled “Spring flower mowing approach for 2026” (dated 22 July 2026). It explains that the Municipality will continue its normal mowing schedule for 2026, but the Municipal Manager has instructed the Parks Department to use discretion. Areas with significant indigenous spring flower displays may be left uncut during August, September and October, while areas with overgrown grass will continue to be mown. In the Hangklip-Kleinmond area, selected parks identified with the Friends of the Kogelberg Biosphere will be marked with “Mowing Temporarily Paused for Spring Flowers” signs; the article states this is not a formal no-mow policy but a site-specific approach.
