San Lameer Nature Conservancy

The San Lameer Conservancy was registered with the KwaZulu-Natal Parks Board as an "Urban" conservancy in January 1996. One year later, the Parks Board presented San Lameer with a certificate proclaiming it as a "site of conservation significance".

The conservancy is situated in the township development "San Lameer" which incorporates an area of approximately 189 hectares extending from the beach in the East to the main road in the West and from the Trafalgar municipal border in the South to the Marina Beach municipal border in the North. The Conservancy incorporates three main vegetation categories, being DUNE, FOREST and GRASSLANDS.
