Statement of Significance

Currently important Koelenhof community resource (e.g.firewood). Historically, places of outspan were often sites of contact between indigenous people and colonialists. Additionally, once outspan places were no longer essential to transportation in the region, they were often used for forestry, with some remnants of that activity on this site. The site has historical, social and community significance.
