Event Details

The SA Wetland Society (SAWS) is excited to announce the newly launched Seminar Series! Based on your responses to our community survey earlier this year, we will be bringing you, on a regular basis, knowledge-sharing sessions and debates directly to your screen.


The first seminar in our series will be by Dr Donovan Kotze, on the 29th of June 2023, @4pm - 5:30pm, on "Using Wetland Assessments to inform Ecosystem Management and Rehabilitation in southern Africa".


Dr Kotze has contributed significantly to the wetland field of practice in South Africa and has been an author on many of the assessment tools and guidelines currently being used.


An attendance register will be available, and attendees can claim 0.2 CPD points. This seminar is free, but it should be noted that all future seminars will be charged R50.00 for non-SAWS members.
