Renew the Elsieskraal

Our vision

What do we do?

Increasing biodiversity

Tackling Pollution

Education & Awareness

Community Mobilisation

Creating Employment

Our strategy is to create opportunities for community involvement to restore the green belt of the river, encouraging people to interact with nature in such a way that inspires them to care for it.

Our main activities are regular river clean-ups, installation; maintenance of litter traps, awareness-raising in our suburb (particularly with local schools), removal of invasive alien vegetation, as well as the planting and care of indigenous plants and trees.
