The Overberg Crane Group (OCG) is a partnership between the community and CapeNature and was established in October 1991 in order to conserve the Blue Crane in an agricultural dominated landscape.  The OCG currently has a fieldworker that reports to a day committee, whose task it is to supervise the fieldworker and guide the group's activities.

OCG Aims to:

•    Determine the present conservation status of Blue Cranes in the Overberg.
•    Address the problems that Blue Cranes cause to farmers.
•    Reduce Blue Crane mortalities.
•    Promote the Blue Crane’s breeding success.
•    Launch public awareness campaigns.
•    Co-ordinate education activities regarding Blue Cranes.
•    Promote the Blue Crane as an economic asset.
•    Promote the long term survival of Blue Cranes outside nature reserves.
•    Monitor the effectiveness of present conservation methods.
