Hillside Dams Conservancy
The community-facing conservancy responsible for protecting and operating one of Bulawayo’s best-known outdoor spaces.
Hillside Dams Conservancy protects and operates one of Bulawayo’s most valued outdoor spaces. Its work links public recreation with conservation, maintenance, environmental learning and the practical management required to keep a large shared landscape accessible.
What visitors see
People encounter walking routes, water, granite outcrops, birdlife and family activity. The condition of those experiences depends on less visible work: managing access, caring for habitat, maintaining facilities and responding to weather and use.
How the public can help
Follow site rules, carry waste out, avoid disturbing wildlife and report concerns through the official contact route. Volunteers and donors should ask what the conservancy currently needs rather than arriving with an uncoordinated project.
Group use
Schools, clubs and organisers should make contact before bringing a large group. Clear plans for supervision, water safety, route choice and waste reduce pressure on the space.
Stay current
Use the official website for opening information, fees, events and conservation updates. Bulawayo Connect links readers back to that source and welcomes verified corrections.
