The Wilds Nature Reserve
![Public Forest/Natural Area: Natural Reserve, National Parks, Regional Parks, other parks and public forests, even private land that has been set aside for conservation. Balance your emphasis of forests with parklands to discourage the over-use of natural areas.

![Native Forests/Plants: Flora that is indigenous in the region, sometimes called old growth, heirloom or indigenous species. Native species requires less water and care than exotic imports, and usually attract more birds, bees and butterflies, and help the cycle of life stay in balance. May include a master gardener, permaculturalist or horticulturalist or information center.

Overview
This 16ha nature reserve on the outskirts of Houghton is set against lovely koppies with well-developed indigenous gardens. Paths ramble across the hillsides with views of the city from various sides, mixing urban life with local vegetation. There are several ponds and waterfalls. This is one of Joburg's best kept secrets, great for school outings or a family day trip.
