MONTESEEL CONSERVANCY
Monteseel is a residential area that is nestled within a conservation area. The Monteseel Conservancy team is made up of willing residents who try to preserve the area in its natural beauty. Over the years a park has been established which is an open space where we hold our fundraising functions and where residents and visitors can enjoy the beautiful open space. From the park, heading up Grand Boulevard, approximately 800m, is the Rosemarie Avenue viewing point. You can leave your car on the road and walk to the cliffs edge and sit under the beautiful Fig Tree.

Then from the park in the other direction, traveling along Magdalene Avenue, about 700m, is the another viewing point.
Both of these offer spectacular views as Monteseel is high above its surrounding areas. On a clear day, one can see as far as the ocean to the east and the Drakensberg to the west. On other days, if you come early enough in the morning, you will witness a blanket of cloud covering the valley below.
There are 2 trails open to the public at the moment, which can both be found starting at the viewing points with a marked board and a well-used pathway.
We hope you will come and explore the nature of the conservancy and enjoy the beautiful views nature has to offer and leave only your hearts and footprints behind.

We try very hard with a handful of us working and monitoring the pristine and endangered KZN Sandstone Sour veld Grasslands. We are passionate about the conservation of the land and the animals and plant life on it.
