2019 Rocks to Robberg and Beach Cleanup well attended!
Greenwood Bay College and Natures Valley Trust hosted their annual Rocks to Robberg Race and Beach Clean on Saturday 9th of November 2019.
This annual event is moving from strength to strength. Contestants and beach cleaners showed their support in masses, even considering the rain and howling wind.
The Rocks to Robberg races can be either run or walked, and the winners of each division won amazing prizes sponsored by local businesses.
Those who did not partake in the races enjoyed themselves by joining GBC and NVT in cleaning up the spectacular stretch of Robberg beach, including the Blue Flag-status Robberg 5.

Well done to all who participated!
A substantial amount has been raised: R 13729,24 and this year’s proceeds benefit Plett’s famous ORCA Foundation and Natures Valley Trust.
ORCA
The ORCA (Ocean Research Conservation Africa) Foundation is part of a volunteer community dedicated to marine conservation throughout South Africa.
Like many conservation projects, it depends on the willingness of others to contribute their time and efforts to further the volunteer and conservation ethics that go hand in hand to ensure a better future for generations to come.
Natures Valley Trust (NVT)
A major role-player in conducting ecological research in the region, Nature s Valley Trust was established in December 2000 to pro-actively maintain the environmental integrity of Natures Valley and the surrounding area.
Today, the Trust is one of the biggest environmental education initiatives in the Western and Eastern Cape provinces and involves local communities to create sustainable conservation.
A big thank you to all sponsors – this wouldn’t have been possible without you!
