Hi Darryn, I represent a WESSA Friends group that was recently founded in reaction to an attempt by JHB City to turn one of the wetlands in our area into a large pavement. We focus on the Fourways Stream wetland system (north of Fourways Mall) and have representation from several complexes from Fairfield to Fourways Gardens. We are joining forces with Working for Wetlands to try to salvage and rehabilitate wetland zones in the area. As you know, the Fourways area used to be known for the rich amphibian life. We still have a couple of amphibian species hanging on in our area, but are keen on rehabilitating habitat specifically for the African Bullfrog. In fact, we believe that the Fourways Stream could potentially form a strategic corridor for amphibians from the Fourways Mall dam to the Jukskei river. Unfortunately, we are still very new to this field, and it seems like you are much more experienced than us.
Would you be interested in meeting me to see if there is a potential for synergy?
