Green Team
The Dolphin Coast Conservancy Green Team are very busy all year round, even during holidays, working hard to make the Dolphin Coast a good looking place to live in and visit.
Here the team are removing alien weeds, which are taller than they are, from the beach parking, opposite Santorini.
Green Team workers prepare trees which have been nurtured by conservancy members, to be planted out in Ocean Drive. They also recently tidied up the Ballito and Umhlali Library gardens.
