It was purchased in 1995 by WWF South Africa and has since been managed by CapeNature, the Western Cape Province's state conservation agency.[1]
Its subsoil has a predominance of slate which favors the karoo (semi-desert type vegetation) on the fynbos.[1]
There are remarkable quantities of cave paintings by the Khoi-San (or Khoi) bushmen, in such numbers that new discoveries are regularly made. These rock paintings, which range in age from 300 to 6,000 years, trace the social and spiritual history of late Stone Age mankind, and are protected as National Monuments under the 1999 National Heritage Resources Act.
