Conservancy Talks
The Conservancy organises several conservation-related talks by expert speakers each year to share information, education and awareness. Talks are open to all Rooielsers, and anyone else who’d like to attend. Always informative and engaging, they offer an opportunity to hear real-world insights, experiences, and stories from people at the front line of conservation.
Come along to the next one for an evening of learning, connection and support for our local businesses!
🙋 Keep an eye on the local WhatsApp groups for notifications. If you’d like to host a talk, or have future topic suggestions, drop us a line at rec@rooiels.org.za
