Source to sea. ~630,000 hectares. Eight Traditional Authorities, five planting phases, five active nurseries, one river system shared by a generation that has not yet been born.
The Project Area outline is dark green. The Sand and Sabie Rivers run through the catchment as blue lines, with their named tributaries branching upstream into the Drakensberg escarpment. Eight Traditional Authority jurisdictions sit inside the boundary in forest green — Hoxane, Mathibela, Thabakgolo, Sethlare, Moreipuso, Mnisi (two non-contiguous parcels), Jongilanga, and Amashangana. Toggle individual TAs from the panel top-left.
Five Planting Phases are mapped across the customary land. Phase 1 in Jongilanga (7,010 ha), Phase 2 in Amashangana (14,924 ha), Phase 3 in Hoxane (8,042 ha), Phase 4 in Mnisi (7,000 ha), and Phase 5 in Mathibela (3,420 ha). 40,396 hectares of restoration work, sequenced. Five propagation nurseries appear as gold pins: Ntirihiso, Tiyimeleni, Skukuza, Hlulani Farm, and Amashangani TA. Five GWF Digital Learning Centers (Dumphries, Justicia, Dixie, Huntington, Hazyview) appear as forest pins with gold rings — education infrastructure paired with the conservation work.
Click any TA polygon or nursery pin for details. Phase areas shade by land-use sub-category within each phase boundary: cropland (existing agricultural land converted to tree cover) and residential (agroforestry within homestead land — trees in the surrounds of customary residential plots, not blanket cover inside village footprints).
