Constantia Valley Green Belt Trails

To document the fauna, flora and moulds of the Constantia Greenbelts.

The various trails are 20-35 minutes long, but some are end to end. They are:

North:

  • Doordrift Walk (Doordrift Rd Plumstead northwest to Alphen Hotel, along Diep River, and over the detention ponds): 25-30min
  • Alphen Trail (Alphen Hotel west to Le Sueur Meadow, along Diep River): 20-25 min - popular with dog walkers
  • Diep River Trail (Le Sueur Meadow west to Cecilia Forest at Southern Cross Drive): 25-35 min - lovely vlei and shade walk
  • Klaasenbosch Trail (Le Suer Meadow north along Klaasenbosch River to Klaasenbosch - Kirstenbosch Rycroft Gate): 30-45 min - lovely shade walk, with a planted "indigenous" section (i.e. indigenous to South Africa, not the Peninsula) some of which are named.
  • Brommersvlei Walk (an isolated east-west walk along the Brommersvlei River and Bel Ombre Meadow): 20-25 min [ Note: during spring-summer-autumn dogs must be on leads: apparently to protect breeding birds ]

West:

  • Die Hel Nature Area ( a Dell of overgrown Fynbos and invading forest under pines, with superb flat walks and steep alternatives): 45-55 min. When there was more Fynbos, this area was reknowned for its Knysna Scrub Warblers, but is now overgrown. Because of the expensive houses upslope it is unlikely to be regularly burned in order to maintain the Fynbos.

South:

  • Grootboschkloof Trail (from Firgrove Way north to Spaansgemat Road along the Grootbos River): 20-25 min
  • Spaansgemat River Trail (from Firgrove Way west to Spaansgemat Road at Peddlers along the Spaansgemat River): 25-35 min
  • Silverhurst Trail (after a 5 min walk from Peddlers across Constantia Main Road to Silverhurst): 30-35 min

*Pagasvlei Walk (isolated, park at Pagasvlei Rd or Klein Constantia Road): 15-20 min

  • Keysers River Trail (from Firgrove Way south along the Keysers River to the Cycle Track (and Tokai Park) and Tokai Lismore Ave): 30-35 min. This links via Tokai Park to Tokai Manor, the Arboretum and Elephants Eye Path, and via the Constantiaberg contour path to Constantia Neck and Cecilia and to Kirstenbosch for those wanting more strenuous hikes or cycles.

The Green Belt is a superb area for discovering trees and shrubs planted by gardeners and authorities over the last 200 years. Because of its isolation from the natural fires, there is no hope of ever restoring the area to Fynbos, and the area will continually be invaded by indigenous forest plants and trees, dispersed by birds and bats down the river courses. Similarly, alien trees and shrubs are spreading from established stands and neighbouring gardens. In this setting these species - especially the trees - are most welcome and form spectacular groves and avenues: ideal for shade walking. The astute walker can probably date areas of establishment from the species present. Most of the more recently established areas have more indigenous species, with the most recent becoming more focussed on the the indigenous Peninsula species rather than merely southern African plants. There is an active committee helping manage the area, and controlling the highly invasive species, as well as those species that are too vigorous - especially within the rivers. In addition, areas are regularly improved with new plantings. Over 100km of trails are maintained, with bridges over rivers and boardwalks were necessary.

The trails are regularly used by hikers, dogwakers, cyclists and runners. There are sufficient people at all times for the walks to be considered totally safe.

Please Help with Identifications

Identifications of BioGaps observations is proving very slow. This is probably because the project ran over a dry and many observations are of heavily browsed flowerless observations.
Please can you help with identifications: priority groups and links to them are listed at the bottom of this posting as comments.

The Ants and Bees: or AB See of Citizen Science

"I have had a look at iNaturalist to see what South African bee species are recorded - am I right that there are only 9 species: Apis mellifera, Xylocopa caffra, X. flavorufa, Megachile maxillosa, Halictus jucundus (which I believe is now Seladonia), Amegilla atrocincta, Xylocopa capensis, Xylocopa nigrita, Megachile felina. There is Plebeina hildebrandt - but it has only been recorded in Namibia so far.
I see that ants feature much more than bees (and wasps) - how many ant species would you say are recorded on iNaturalist SA so far?"
Annalie

That is not quite a fair comparison on several grounds. Let us expand to southern Africa and look at the details:
See Ants: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=113055&taxon_id=47336&view=species
See Bees: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=113055&taxon_id=630955&view=species

So

Bees: 1,486 observations 43 species 117 identifiers 200 Observers
Ants: 2,836 observations 176 species 115 identifiers 220 Observers

So Ants have twice as many observations. But the same number of identifiers and observers. The big difference is the identifications and the enthusiasm of those making the IDs (shown: more than 200 IDs). (to see this click on the “Identifiers” tab on the pages above)

Ants:
1 peterslingsby 2,755
2 rjpretor 907
3 tonyrebelo 449
4 meldem 342
5 alexdreyer 276
6 colin25 202
Bees:
1 rjpretor 726
2 johnascher 524
3 tonyrebelo 368
4 colin25 218

That is all it takes: 1 champion! Someone willing to adopt a group and run with it and get everyone excited and all cued up. Apart from this champion there is not much different between the two.
But what does help is someone willing to make IDs to species level:

Rank of identifications
Observations (taxa):

Level of ID: Ants Bees
Family 90 (1) 133 (6)
Tribe 44 (6) 129 (12)
Genus 551 (22) 381 (23)
Species 2228 (176) 849 (28)

So: 79% of ants are identified to species, and 57% of bees!

Bees: Top 5 (but > 10 obs):
Apis mellifera: 583
Xylocopa caffra: 93
Xylocopa flavorufa: 73
Halictus (Seladonia): 18
Ants: (> 100 obs)
Camponotis niveosetosus: 188
Camponotis fulvopilosus: 154
Lepisota capensis: 125
Crematogaster peringuei: 124
Anoplolepis custodiens: 122

So – the Honeybees accounts for 69% of bee observations, and only 4 species have 10 or more observations.
But ants have 5 species with more than 100 observations, and 46 species with ten or more observations

So that is the difference: the ants have the more charismatic identifiers and identifications (and they don’t fly away).

The solution is simple. We need a Bee Champion on iNaturalist for the region!
