Conservation

In 1996 Peter Pentz was the first private individual to be awarded the States premier conservation award for the major contribution he made to soil conservation over a fifteen-year period. He is presently one of the prime movers in establishing the Cape West Coast Biosphere, which incorporates Groote Post farm. The biosphere concept is a partnership between and owners, including the state, of a designated area, to promote harmony between conservation of natural resources and social and economic development.
