Land Restoration & Renosterveld Management Day

Land Restoration & Renosterveld Management Day

Event: 30th June 2016

CapeNature, Conservation@Work and partners are presenting a much needed and practical experience for landowners and staff of people living and working the soils of the Renosterveld.

Soil erosion is one of the major threats to the conservation of our Renosterveld especially in areas which have been historically overgrazed or neglected. Landowners and managers are invited to attend this day of practical advice and opportunity to share ideas regarding the combatting of erosion in Renosterveld and the management of Renosterveld in general.
