Australian Orchids

from Newcastle Libraries REAL Hosted by Newcastle Libraries REAL

The final episode of this mini-series on the 19th century publication Australian Orchids by R. D Fitzgerald explores the diversity of landscapes within the Hunter Valley that are conducive to orchids. If you are in the area, why not try walking along these trails in your very own orchid hunt? Lynda McPherson (author, botanical illustrator, and volunteer at the Hunter Region Botanic Garden) joins Lachlan Copeland (Eco Logical Australia) and Doug Beckers (NSW National Parks and Wildlife) to discuss surveys and conservation practices. Peter Weston (National Herbarium of NSW) and Sally Stewart (Librarian at the Royal Botanic Garden Victoria) discuss plant taxonomy and identification, whilst Tony Clark from the Australian Native Orchid Society offers a great community-based way to get involved and learn more. This is a Newcastle Libraries REAL Production.
