Community Nursery Establishment Services

The South African National Parks is inviting proposals for the establishment of a community nursery that will serve local communities in the Core Area of the New Grassland National Park. This initiative aims to promote biodiversity, enhance local livelihoods, and foster community involvement in environmental conservation. The successful service provider will be responsible for designing, setting up, and managing the nursery, ensuring it operates sustainably and effectively meets the needs of the community.

Key requirements include the development of a comprehensive project plan that outlines the nursery's operational framework, including plant selection, cultivation methods, and community training programs. The service provider must demonstrate experience in horticulture, community engagement, and sustainable practices. The project duration is expected to be defined in the proposal, with an emphasis on long-term sustainability and community benefit. This initiative not only aims to enhance local biodiversity but also to create job opportunities and empower community members through skills development.
