Join a local Friends conservation group

Love Cape Town's wild spaces? Help keep them that way. Across the city, passionate volunteers are protecting wetlands, restoring indigenous vegetation, clearing invasive plants and caring for neighbourhood parks. Join a local Friends group and discover how rewarding it can be to give a little love back to the places you love.

It's also a lovely way to meet like-minded people, spend time outdoors and become part of your local community.

BEFORE YOU GO
Different groups offer different opportunities, from weekend clean-ups and planting days to ongoing conservation projects. No specialist experience is necessarily required, but check with your chosen group about activities, equipment and meeting times before joining.
