BOT SOC Buzz
Our monthly email check-in with members, where we introduce our next plant conservation webinar, has had a bit of a spring revamp. We’ve renamed it the ‘BOT SOC Buzz’, because it’s where you’ll find out about the BOT SOC action coming up over the next few weeks. From our webinar, to the events and activities taking place across South Africa at our various branches. THIS is your BOT SOC one-stop information shop.
