About Us
Discover Renosterveld is among the groups of environmentalists who believe that it’s not too late to try to rescue and restore and recover the almost lost bits of the Renosterveld .
We at Discover Renosterveld are involved in rewilding on the farms and urban environments and assisting with Renosterveld management so that the very threatened Renosterveld can be showcased in all its glory.
We are supporters of planting locally endemic Renosterveld back into the landscape – wild or in gardens
In order to preserve the gene pool of the fragile environment it is important that we consider the locally endemic species before introducing similar species from a different ecotype.
By raising awareness in communities, and encouraging re-wilding of their areas we aim to create sustainable Renosterveld corridors from the mountains to the sea.
To this end we have brought together groups of like-minded people from various communities such as …
the farming community & landscaping industry
alien clearing contractors
specialists involved in rehabilitation of water courses
the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy & other conservancies
landowners and custodians of land who care for the environment.
The team behind Discover Renosterveld …

Jesse Roos is the man behind marketing and our awareness portfolio.
Our very able nursery and plant rescue team is now 15 permanent employees strong – many of whom have been with the project since the start in 2016
Origin of our logo …
Our logo is inspired by the Rosette Gall Midge found on our very own Renosterbos.
This remarkable ecosystem engineer adapts its habitat to favour other species living with it. Because of it’s interaction with the Renosterbos it changes its growth tip and causes the plant to grow this Rosette.
In much the same way Discover Renosterveld strives to create a wild space to encourage ecosystem renewal within our critically endangered Renosterveld.
