Separate financial plan BACP

An initial separate financial plan was drawn up for the BACP, the gist of which is included in the Business Case for the Botfriends Alien Clearing Program Business case. This has a little more detail on the finances, in the different categories of expenditure expected.

The main data input was from the Botfriends challenge where detailed costings and exploration of techniques was made in clearing aliens from from public land in Fisherhaven. The sites ranged from sparsely invaded areas to severely invaded areas and included different past histories of clearing. Data was published on the Botfriends Facebook page and website.

The separate financial plan BACP includes all the area from the immediate fore-ground (Hawston Heights), down to the estuary and a section of the far bank. This includes Rooisand Nature Reserve, and some privately owned land below the R43, but excluding the Kogelberg mountains in the background. The dark green areas close to the built up area of Fisherhaven are areas close to 100% invaded with alien vegetation. Very little money has been available to do anything about these areas, even though they constitute a severe fire hazard. A preliminary proposal for the BACP was posted on this site
