About Project Noordhoeked

Our aim is to retain as much ecological integrity in many of Noordhoek’s spaces. We focus on keeping the beach clean and free of dog faeces and ocean plastic and we keep the roadsides and riverine areas free of dumped trash.
Our core focus is clearing invasive alien plants from the wetland and other invaded areas around Noordhoek. We are driven by the “broken windows theory” which considers maintaining a pristine, natural space in a bid to ensure that those who pass  through or live within, have pride and care for their natural surroundings. We create sustained employment for people from the local community and feel we are a sustainable and good model for community-driven and funded environmental efforts.
