Msinsi Nature Reserve is a seven hectare private nature reserve on the grounds of the University of KwaZulu Natal's Howard College Campus in Glenwood, Durban.[1][2] The reserve protects one of the last remaining patches of natural grassland in Durban.[1][3] The name "Msinsi" is Zulu for the Erythrina Iysistemon or Coral Tree which is found within its boundaries.[1] The reserve is home to a number of small mammals and birds,[3] and was once the site of a mango tree plantation,[4] some of which remain today.
