The final six Baviaanskloof Green Fund Micro Grants have been approved from the second round of application submissions, deadline the 31 March 2011.

This brings the total number of Micro Grant Projects on the Baviaanskloof Landscape to twelve. Twelve projects that have been given the opportunity to create an awareness of the importance of nature and the environment as well as making a difference in not only the Micro Grant Recipients’ lives but the lives of the members of their communities as well. As Micro Grant Recipient, Johanna Swartz puts it, “It’s nice to know that I am helping the environment by planting the Spek.”

The following is a list of all twelve Micro Grant Projects, Recipients and their locations in the landscape.
