The 6th annual Land Rehabilitation Society of Southern Africa (LaRSSA) conference will be held 13-16 August 2018 at Champagne Sports Resort in the Drakensberg. The theme is 'Transforming the Rehabilitation Landscape'.
The pre-conference workshop, facilitated by Wayne Truter, Erna Kruger and Leana Nel, provides substantial exposure to conservation agriculture which will include a site visit to a No Till farm in the area. The annual networking meet & greet will be hosted at the Drakensberg Brewery where you will be able to sample a variety of craft beers.
The two days of conference will feature international, local and celebrity keynote and plenary speakers such as: Hugh Pringle, Nicooth, Dave Pepler, Tanya Smith, Georgina Avlonitis and Nicolette Forbes.
LaRSSA is also excited to announce the launch of the 'Jones & Wagener - LaRSSA Rehabilitation Library' - the first of its kind in Southern Africa!
LaRSSA will be introducing another inspiring initiative - the 'Luhlaza Award' for extraordinary contributions within the field of land rehabilitation.
This year LaRSSA will be honouring Dr Faan van Wyk with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The ultimate finale will be the two post-conference tours - 'Working for Water' and 'Rehabilitating Dongas' in the Okhombe and Mnweni Valley areas respectively. The conference will also be SAICE and SACNASP CPD accredited.
