Beer, wine and soft drinks are also available.The Drummond Conservancy is a registered conservancy and has been operating for more than 20 years.
Its purpose is to encourage residents to be pro-active in caring for the environment and to help with the eradication of Alien Invasive Plants (IAPs), and replace these plants with appropriate indigenous flora.
By promoting the increase in the variety and number of indigenous plants, birds and other wildlife in the area, the conservancy creates corridors of green, open space along river areas and between properties and fences.
The conservancy also acts as an environmental watchdog and reports problems to the relative authorities after consultation with the people involved. Educational events are also hosted annually such as frog and bat evenings, a walk on the wild side through pristine veld and ancient river beds.
No dogs are permitted as there are dogs on the owner’s property.
