Participate

By wielding tools at the Cape, contributing your unique expertise or attending an event, everyone can have fun sustaining Nature.

A place for you to help

You can find a way to take part that works for you. The Conservancy grew from neighbours who cared about this island and were willing to do something together. People still take part in many different ways: through a donation or annual membership, a morning of volunteer work, a photograph, a conversation at an event, or simply by staying in touch.

Choose what suits your interests and the time or resources you have.
