  Zandvlei Nature Reserve – Environmental Education Centre

This table illustrates the strides during 2002, which is taking place in the Environmental Education for the local school children. Also visitors from Schools across the Cape Flats. The visitors to the Centre have increased since the addition of the necessary toilet block. 
The staff have actively been involved in the YES programme and gave a talk to the assembly of Steenberg Primary School.
Education is only one facet of the varied and complex day in the life of a Nature Conservation Officer.
