At the conservancy we aim to protect and enhance the natural environment of the Pennington village to the benefit of present and future generations of residents and visitors to the area. To this end we carry out various projects with the support of the local government. The day to day running of the conservancy is done by the committee with the help of a small staff and a group of dedicated volunteers. The funds for the financing of these projects comes from the Kiosk, membership contributions and donations by corporate and private sponsors.

Projects
Pennington Conservancy is involved in driving and coordinating many projects and activities within the community.
Some are continuous and ongoing (for example, Recycling and the Nkomba Trails, Flora and Fauna) whereas others are once off and run for a limited period of time.
New activities include rebuilding the recycling depot with 2 litre eco bricks, providing assistance with replacing exotic plants and trees with indigenous ones and promoting the growing and use of organic vegetables.

Nkomba
The Nkomba River gently curves and sways through lush forests, and with a final sweep flows into the ocean. The Nkomba Site of Conservation Significance was once a dumpsite. Today, trails through coastal forest are maintained by the Conservancy and the area abounds with bird and animal life. Beautiful indigenous trees, planted by local pioneers of conservation, now provide perfect places to enjoy the tranquillity of the area.
Various trails meander through the forest and along the banks of the river. Enjoy a short walk to the bird hide or, if you are a little more energetic, use the little punt to cross the river and enjoy the lovely Makamati trail through the village.
