GARDAG Swings into Action, Raising much needed funds for Water Monitoring 

GARDAG Swings into Action at the George Golf Club, raising much needed funds for Water Monitoring 

This year, on World Environment Day, GARDAG (Garden Route Dam Action Group) gave special attention to the restoration of the Kat River, one of two tributaries that flow into the Garden Route Dam, home to the Kat River Nature Reserve and a primary resource for our water supply in the area. 

Collaborating for Conservation

Working alongside Friends of the Kat River and the Ward 18 Committee, we are focused on supporting initiatives that protect local rivers in the hopes of preserving our water resources for the future.

Golfing for a Cause

To raise funds for independent water monitoring in this drought sensitive region, we hosted our annual Golf Day, on 5 June at the George Golf Club to ensure that we are able to continue our important work. The event brought together 36 golf players and 11 sponsors, all contributing to our mission of safeguarding local water sources.
