Nature walk and conservation all in one

Spending time in nature truly is relaxing, and one of the most beautiful places to visit is right here in our community’s back garden.

The Kenmare Kloof Conservation Association has taken relaxing nature walks and combined them with a bit of conservation, so while enjoying the stunning Kloof, hikers can also do their bit to keep it clean.

WEB – Another Kloof hike in October.

On 10 October the Association hosted another community walk and clean-up event. Its chairperson, Hanno Moller, said they host these walks once a month.

Hanno explained that since the start of lockdown the Association has removed more than 100 hectares of black wattle trees. The problem is that new wattle seedlings are now starting to sprout again, and ridding the Kloof of the trees is an ongoing struggle.

If you would like to join them on their next hike, visit their Facebook page at Kenmare Kloof Conservation Association for more details.
