Alien invasive plant programme
The alien invasive plant programme of the Mtunzini Conservancy had its roots in the Arboretum Committee, established in 1993, whose initial focus was clearing the town of extensive alien invasive infestations, including gum trees (Eucalyptus grandis), which had been planted in the 1940s by the Mtunzini Civic Association in the area below the current golf course in order to generate funds to develop the town. With the gum trees cleared, the money from the timber sale was intended for the rehabilitation of the cleared areas and to rid the town of invasive species.
