Randjesfontein Conservancy
Randjesfontein Conservancy was established in 2008 and is registered with the Gauteng Conservancy Association
(Membership number 057)
CONSERVANCY GOALS
To manage and improve the environment.
To educate the community about our conservancy.
To ensure all open spaces and horse trails are improved.
The conservation of species
habitat is one of our primary
objectives.
Natural grasses
form the habitat for guinea
fowls, marsh owls
and
francolin that inhabit the
estate.
To protect them, Randjesfontein
will retain as much natural
grassland
as possible.
The
preservation of grasslands is
important for many other birds
that feed on the seeds, as well
as habitat for food sources for
owls, such as rodents and
insects.
Randjesfontein Conservancy intends to keep residents
abreast of the latest techniques and methodologies
of perma-culture, viticulture and the general benefits of reducing our reliance and exposure to pesticides and inorganic compounds that find their way into the food we eat.
CONSERVANCY PROJECTS
- Establish a recyling system within the Estate
- Removal of invader species of black wattle within the 26 kilometres of horse trail
