ABOUT FRIENDS  

Friends are volunteers who band together to conserve and rehabilitate
or prevent destruction of a nature area.

 

 


Friends Groups are a dynamic movement within The Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa; they encourage public participation in caring for the earth by enabling volunteers to become involved with the conservation and preservation of nature areas or specific inhabitants.
