Preserve and Protect nature
Residents of the Overstrand live close to nature. Some might even say too close if one looks at the issues people have with baboons.
In most cases our contact with the environment is regulated by rules and regulations and residents are often asked not to take the law into their own hands. If caught you could be fined like the two gentlemen who thought it was a good idea to dig a trench at the Klein River estuary, supposedly to cause an artificial breach. They were caught by law enforcement officers who worked through the night to apprehend the guilty parties. Well done.
The way we interact with nature should be influenced by a desire to protect and preserve. That is why we must congratulate Whale Coast Conservation for receiving a R 4 million grant to promote sustainable living in the Overberg and wish them good luck with their task.
Nature is one of the Cape Whale Coasts most important assets.
