APPENDIX 1: REPORT ON THE FOREST BY SOUTH WESTERN TIMBERS CC To: Sandra Rippon and Marlene Laros RE: Report on the Forest above the University Species mix 53 UCT Heritage Park Management Framework: Final Draft Report, July 2012 South Western Timbers cc 17 Falaise Street VAT: 4140232275 Paarl 7646 Reg.Nr. 2006/028868/23 29 May 2012 Most of the trees are Pinus pinaster, the most invasive of pine species in South Africa. The trees are generally healthy, but some are dead while others are dying. These trees are mature and will start dying off as in nature to make room for young trees growing from seed. Once the canopy is removed, seed would immediately germinate to form a carpet of new trees. These seedlings can easily be eradicated with Glyphosate. There could be as much as 2000 cubic metres of Pinus pinaster. It is valued at R200 per cubic metre standing and would be used in the making of pallets. In the map attached called UCT species, the area marked in black, shows where the majority of Pinus pinaster is situated. The Blackwoods (Acacia melanoxylon) trees are few and in general good health. There have to be no rush to fell these trees for health reasons. Once the canopy is disturbed though, thousand of seeds will germinate, which would require chemical treatment. Any Glyphosate product could be applied at 6 litres per hectare and would effectively kill the seedlings at little cost. The most valuable tree in the forest, where logs can fetch up to R2800 per cubic metre, but buyers of these logs are mostly situated around Knysna and transport cost would bring the standing price to around R800 per cubic metre. There is less than 40 cubic metres of Blackwood in the forest. The remaining trees are Pinus pinea (Stone pine) and there are few of them. Their general health is poor with most of them situated above the dam with many dead and blown over. These trees are not aggressive invaders, but have reached senescence and should be harvested to recover some commercial value. The least valuable species on the site, it would fetch R80 to R100 per cubic metre standing on the open market. There is around 80 cubic metres of Stone pine in the forest. In the map attached called UCT species (Figure A below), the area marked in yellow, shows where the majority of Pinus pinea is situated. Figure A: Yellow hatching indicates main stand of Pinus pinea
