The Hermanus Botanical Society raises funds for use in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve 
 and for conservation in the area. One of the biggest fundraising events is the 
 annual Hermanus Wildflower Festival, organized by the society and held usually 
 mid- to end September.

The society administers and/or supports various projects such as alien vegetation 
control schemes and the Cliff Path Management Group. Members liaise with municipal 
staff and Coastcare staff to form hack groups in several areas.

Latest project is called “Fernkloof Nature Reserve Living Classroom – a proposal 
for a joint Overstrand Conservation Foundation/Botanical Society Environmental 
Education Programme.”   Fernkloof is a wonderful environmental education resource 
for young and old alike. In order to tap the resource, however, learning resource 
material needs to be made available that is suitable for the needs of the various 
kinds and levels of learner who should be making use of the Reserve.The first joint 
programme relates to engaging with schools to register on the Eco-Schools programme.    

Donations/bequests to the society for general or specific use are extremely welcome 
and may be sent to:
