The document summarizes the story of Nylsvlei wetland in South Africa. When the Voortrekkers arrived during the Great Trek, they found a delta full of water that resembled the pyramids of Egypt, so they named the area Nylsvlei. The wetland provides protection and habitat for many birds and animals. It purifies water and helps control water flow from rainstorms. The document highlights various plant species found in the wetland and surrounding bushveld, and encourages appreciation and conservation of the unspoiled natural area.
