About Us

Your trusted partner in conservation and restoration in the Western Cape, South Africa. We are passionate about preserving the natural beauty of our region and are dedicated to the restoration and rehabilitation of river beds, endangered areas and the surrounding ecosystem.

At Earth Matters, we recognize the critical role that rivers play in our environment. They are the life force of our landscapes, providing sustenance to diverse plant and animal species and serving as a source of life-giving water for both nature and communities. However, these precious ecosystems are under constant threat from invasive alien species and the destructive force of floods. 

That's where we come in.

Our primary focus is on clearing invasive alien species that have taken root in river beds, disrupting the delicate balance of the ecosystem. These invaders outcompete native plants, degrade water quality and pose a significant threat to the biodiversity of the area. Through our expert knowledge and environmentally friendly techniques, we effectively remove these invasive species, giving indigenous flora a chance to flourish once more.

But our work doesn't end there. We understand that restoration is not just about removing the unwanted, it's about nurturing and rebuilding what has been lost. After flood damage or invasive species removal, we meticulously restore the river bed, carefully considering the natural hydrology, soil conditions and local species requirements. By employing sustainable methods and utilizing indigenous plant species, we create a haven for native wildlife, promote healthier ecosystems and enhance the resilience of our natural landscapes.

Reforestation lies at the heart of our mission. We firmly believe in the power of indigenous trees and plants to restore balance and harmony to our environment. Through our reforestation efforts, we transform degraded areas into thriving ecosystems, one tree at a time. By carefully selecting and planting native species, we contribute to the preservation of our natural heritage and the protection of countless species that depend on these ecosystems for their survival.

Our commitment to conservation goes beyond the work we do on the ground. We are dedicated to raising awareness and educating communities about the importance of supporting local indigenous growth and restoration. By fostering a sense of stewardship among residents and fostering a love for our natural surroundings, we strive to create a lasting impact that extends far beyond our projects.
