Mike Woods Environmental Education Centre - Helderberg Nature Reserve

About

We believe that through environmental education, we will form partnerships to conserve, protect, nurture and care for our environment and invoke in the youth community a sense of environmental pride and responsibility that promotes environmentally sustainable lifestyles, behaviour and actions.

The Mike Woods Environmental Education Centre based at Helderberg Nature Reserve offers programmes such as medicinal plants, general biodiversity, flora, ecology, birds, ecosystems and fauna. Programmes can be tailor made.

The centre also hosts special environmental days/weeks and activity-based learning such as litter clean ups or invasive species removal. Talks and guided hikes can be arranged.
