Welcome


Welcome to the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy (BHRC) where private landowners strive to preserve the beautiful Bottelary Hills and its endangered fauna and flora species.

What started out as one man’s passion to preserve the less than 4% Renosterveld in the Western Cape, resulted in a non-profit conservation community that formed The Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy. Members contribute by following sustainable farming and wine production practices through the adoption of biodiversity guidelines by the South African wine industry.
