And we also spoke to Cecil Whiteman – from the Noordhoek Environmental Action Group. This is a Non Governmental Organisation focused on environmental issues in the greater Noordhoek area. They have initiated an “adopt-a-plot” scheme where anyone can choose a specific plot of local land and maintain it clear of invasive plants.
