Chapter Fundraisers

The Society of Wetland Scientists South Atlantic Chapter supports student education and research, advances public education and fosters conservation, while operating solely as a charitable and educational organization.  To help in our mission to support student research grants, travel grants and other chapter activities, the Chapter needs money.  Besides collections from Chapter dues and workshop fees, another way to raise money is to hold Chapter fundraisers.
