The Westville Country Club Eco Trails is a piece of paradise in the middle of Westville, in development since August 2015 for the community.

Already a popular walking, trail running and mountain bike route, with something for all family members. The pristine forest has a diverse selection of fauna and flora and the removal of alien vegetation has opened up the area for bird life. With partners such as Westville Conservancy and Durban Green Corridor we are able to continue the ongoing process of alien eradication, maintenance and development of the trails while focusing on conservation and the environment as well as empowerment for the community.

Don’t miss BirdLife Port Natal’s outing to the Westville Eco-Trails on Wednesday, 18 September at 6.30am. This is your chance to see all three mannikins in a small indigenous area in suburbia. Take a picnic. For more information, call Jane Morris on 082-442-2982.
