Overview
The Marianhill Landfill Conservancy involves the rehabilitation of the footprint and buffer zone of the landfill on a continual basis using local environmental assests such as endemic and indigenous flora and fauna. Both the original soil profile and flora was rescued and restored by the Plant Rescue Unit (Prunit) during the rehabilitation process. These were use in other rehabilitation projects in the region, thereby mnimising the loss of key biodiversity. The project also serves to provide educational opportunities for schools and encourage tourists to visit a natural area in an urban environment.
