Regional events

Great opportunities are available for local members to meet and share their interests with each other and the wider public. ESA supports events that bring attention to ecological issues and create community within the region. ESA provides financial support for activities that are of benefit to our members. If you have an idea for a regional activity, contact your Regional Councillor.
