General recommendation 54 It would be best to harvest these trees in the next couple of years. The backdrop to the University is important, but in the light that there are many trees remaining in Sanparks just above the University’s land, a process of felling these trees in two phases should be considered. The fact that, especially Pinus pinaster, is an aggressive invader as can be seen on most of the Table mountain slopes, is further cause to hasten the clearfelling. In the map attached named UCT Proposed clearfelling area Phase 1 (Figure B below), the first suggested felling area is marked in green. This would allow for the backdrop to be unchanged for a number of years, while indigenous trees are planted in this area and seedling regrowth of the current species are eradicated. The remaining trees can then be felled in a second phase, five to ten years after completion of the first phase.

55 APPENDIX 2: PROPOSED PLANTED LANDSCAPE COMPONENTS Name: Screening Shrubbery Description: A dense planting of endemic large shrubs and small trees to create an impenetrable barrier. To prevent the shrubbery from becoming a security hazard a thorny element should be included – Gymnosporia buxifolia & Putterlickia pyracantha two widely spread Peninsula species would be ideal candidates for this. Some of the tree elements will in the very long term will be over 4m Role: A dense screening shrubbery to break view lines and hide unsightly elements in the landscape. Height: 2-4m Plant species: Canthium inerme Cassine peragua Diospyros glabra Diospyros whyteana Gymnosporia buxifolia Halleria lucida Kiggelaria africana Maytenus acuminata Olea europaea subsp. africana Protea coronata Protea lepidocarpodendron Putterlickia pyracantha Pterocelastrus tricuspidatus Rapanea melanophloeos Rhus angustifolia Rhus tomentosa Name: Afro-montane Forest Description: The afro-montane Forest would be an area with a closed canopy, created using species typical of the Peninsula forests, with a low under storey. The smaller tree species will create the forest margin and integrate with the adjoining planted landscape components. Role: Create a pleasant shady environment, with open view lines through the trunks, for recreation, meditation or teaching nodes. The forest will form a strong green back drop to the campus and serve a useful screening function of the campus from above. Height: 10m Plant species: Trees: Apodytes dimidiata Canthium inerme Cassine peragua Cunonia capensis UCT Heritage Park Management Framework: Final Draft Report, July 2012
