Treasure Beach Environmental Education (EE) Centre is situated on the Bluff, 20 minutes from the centre
of Durban, the second fastest growing city in the world. Mangrove swamps, freshwater vleis, rocky shores,
dune forests and Durban harbour are all easily accessible.
The hands on approach used by the staff encourages the practical understanding of the ecology and the
learner's role in caring for the environment.Our understanding of the term environment includes the
political (decision making), economic (jobs and money), social (people living together) and the biophysical
dimensions. With this in mind, our education courses range from specific ecological studies to syllabus
support such as the arts, urban studies, alien plant control, recycling, etc.
The methodologies that are used with participants include research, action kits and guided and/or self
guided approaches. Teachers and group leaders are invited to share in the programme and course
design to ensure that the contents of the course meets the specific needs of the group.
Most schools visit Treasure Beach on day courses which last approximately four
hours. However, we do have overnight accommodation which is ideal for groups of up to 70. Delicious,
wholesome meals are provided by our catering staff.
