Conservation at Work would like to share our latest newsletter showcasing what Conservation at Work has been up to the first half of the year and remind you on what is still to come.
Also take note – When planning to attend the C@W 2024 Symposium please make you accommodation bookings well in advance, to avoid disappointment as the Symposium will be hosted in the week the Spring Festival starts in Robertson.
On the 7th of June 2024 Conservation at Work hosted a Landowner Day in the Garden Route, Wilderness. With almost 50 participating landowners, the day was bound to be a success. The day consisted of educational presentations aimed at informing landowners about conservation corridors, poaching, wildfires, and invasive alien plant management. Thereafter the participants visited a beautiful property in the area that is putting a strong focus on invasive alien plant management. The Landowner Day acted as an opportunity for showcasing local successes and challenges and stimulating valuable discussions among landowners – Dr Zanri Strydom
The most important message that came from the day is that conservation on this scale is a collective effort that isn’t possible without 100% buy in from landowners, collaboration with other conservation organizations, municipalities such as the OBM, and dedicated contracting teams that prosper from doing the work on the ground.
”Collaboration – the ultimate intertwining of skills, passions, and knowledge- is what concocts the most shatterproof forms of changemaking” – Ian Somerhalder
