Conservancy members in the Overberg are invited to attend an Overberg Open Training Day, organised by Conservation at Work. The training day will cover subjects such as erosion control, managing fynbos veld fires, and snake awareness.
Environmental education in the Overberg received a boost – thanks to the Agulhas Biodiversity Initiative (ABI) Small Grants Programme. Environmental education coordinator, Gretha Louw – who received support from ABI through its Small Grants Facility – has used the funding to acquire a digital microscope and other gadgets, used to teach children about nature and sustainable life on earth.
Five new projects have been selected to receive grants through the ABI Small Grants Facility. They range from projects supporting environmental education in the Overberg, to a biomass stove project.
