WILDLIFE RETURNS AS LONEHILL RESIDENTS HELP BRING THEIR DAM BACK TO LIFE!
Herons are returning to Lonehill Dam. Along its banks, sightings of terrapins, mongooses and crabs are adding to the encouraging signs of recovery at this Johannesburg green space.
What makes this story special is the community effort behind it.
Through a rehabilitation project involving the Lonehill Residents Association, Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo, local businesses, researchers and water specialists, the dam is beginning to show remarkable improvements.
