Site description: 885 Welcome to Mukuvisi Woodlands The Mukuvisi Woodland Nature Reserve is a national treasure, providing one of the few large green spaces open to the public in Harare. Over 18 000 school children visit The Woodlands each year. Deforestation and loss of habitat is rampant country-wide. Our amazing wildlife is more or less restricted to National Parks and other conservancies. For some, the Mukuvisi Woodlands provide the only opportunity they have to see our wild animals, and appreciate the natural miombo woodlands of Zimbabwe. The Mukuvisi Woodlands was first proposed as a protected green-belt area in 1910. An uphill battle against suburban development in the area continued until 1980. Finally, an official lease agreement was signed between Mukuvisi Woodlands Association, formed in 1979, and the Harare Municipality. The Association now enjoys a 99 year lease to 2090.
