Basic guidelines to Veld Management – Central Karoo

The Central Karoo represents mainly a summer rainfall area with Karoo-type vegetation in the Nama Karoo biome. The average rainfall increases from 100 – 600 mm and the area can be described as arid to semi-arid from west to east. All veld types are sensitive to incorrect grazing practices and it is therefore extremely important that good veld management is practised in order to ensure conservation of the veld by proper utilisation.
