The Swellendam Bewarea Conservancy is powered entirely by its community. Every project we run, from restoring threatened fynbos to rescuing injured wildlife depends on the support of members, donors, and neighbours who care about the natural spaces around our town.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Your contributions keep conservation work active on the ground, including:
- The Swellendam Silcrete Veld & Masbiekerskloof Adopt-a-Spot Project — clearing invasive vegetation and restoring indigenous habitat.
- The SBC Wildlife Rescue Fund — caring for injured and distressed wildlife.
- The Swellendam Tree Route Walk, environmental education, and school projects.
- Regular river and open-space clean-ups, alien-plant clearing, and our newsletters and awareness campaigns.
Conservation takes ongoing time, effort, and resources. Without funding, none of these initiatives can continue or grow — and the positive impact they have on our community would slowly fade.
Why It Matters
By supporting the SBC, you help protect local biodiversity, raise environmental awareness, advance practical conservation work, and encourage responsible stewardship of the landscapes we all share — working alongside volunteers, landowners, schools, businesses, and fellow environmental initiatives across the Greater Swellendam area.
How to Get Involved
Become a member for just R100 per year (individual) or R200 per year (business). Donations of any amount are warmly welcomed and go directly to conservation projects in our area — a monthly debit order of even R50 or R100 makes a real difference over time, and donations qualify for a Section 18A tax certificate.
The SBC is a registered CapeNature conservancy, run by its members and a volunteer Executive Committee under our Constitution — so you can see exactly how the organisation is governed and how your support is put to work.
To join, donate, or find out more, email admin@swellendamconservancy.org.za. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep Swellendam wild.
