Conservation

We believe that responsible, environmentally friendly farming and wildlife conservation are interrelated

VulPro vulture conservation partnership

Vulture conservation

We work closely with VulPro, the Vulture Conservation Programme and donate our mortalities to this notable conservation effort.

As vultures are a key indicator of environmental health, VulPro focuses on the impact of these birds on the environment and, equally important, the environment's impact on their survival. Combining education, good science, networking, capacity building, and knowledge generation for the benefit of both vultures and society, VulPro aims to ultimately influence the well-being of our natural resources and, in this way, positively benefit society.

  • Rehabilitate vultures
  • House and facilitate captive breeding and reintroduction programmes
  • Implement wild population breeding monitoring
  • Provide vulture educational and awareness programmes
  • Perform veterinary and ecological research
  • Undertake distribution, dispersal and foraging ranges of vultures
Wild game conservation at GHB Farms

Wild Game

Farming with wild game is more sustainable than farming with cattle.

VulPro operates a centre in Hartbeespoort and holds NPC and PBO status. For more information about VulPro, please visit www.vulpro.com.

We make use of game-slurry as a natural fertiliser across our operations.

Hay production at GHB Farms

Hay production

We conduct soil analysis to ensure the quality of our hay production.

We grow Weeping Love Grass (Eragrostis curvula), baled in 1.2m round bales, valued for its protein content and use as a natural fertilizer.

Our hay bales are used for haymaking, wind erosion control, and managing water discharge areas. Contact us directly to purchase.
