Biodiversity highlights: Area conserved – 237ha.
Our total commitment to biodiversity ensures a less wasteful, enriching and 'nature-friendlier' farming method. We see biodiversity as a guiding philosophy which serves the purpose of providing us with strict guidelines in all of our environmental contacts and behaviours, and always in support of our ecological surroundings. |
We at Wedderwill have a dedicated conservation plan and have, on a great scale re-establish wild life and natural rehabilitation in designated areas across the length of the property. From massive alien clearing, to plant species surveys, to river rehabilitation, to fire risk assessments, to a stewardship program with Cape Nature, to a field herbarium and a re-stocked wild life reserve, we boast a total area of 237 hectares (or 68% of our total farm) which is natural or in the process of rehabilitation.
We strive to incorporate an holistic approach as we believe that farming should not in any why be in conflict with ecology. This is vital for the success of any long term venture - Sustaining and safeguarding what we inherit for our future.
