Posted on 7 October, 2011 by Connecting Country
At the next Castlemaine Field Naturalist Club meeting on 14 October there will be a presentation by Geoff Carr on Dianellas: their biology, ecology and taxonomy. The evening will begin at 7.30pm and the venue is the Uniting Church Hall. All are welcome.
Geoff Carr is a founding director of Ecology Australia and has been a botanical consultant for 30 years. He has an exceptional knowledge of the ecology, taxonomy, distribution, conservation status, horticulture, management and revegetation of the Australian flora, particularly that of south-eastern Australia. Geoff has published over 400 papers, reports and other publications.
There will be an excursion the next day, Saturday 15 October, led by Geoff Carr to sites in Harcourt area with a high diversity of Dianellas. The trip will be a hands-on tutorial focussing on the differences between species (and hybrids). The excursion will begin at the Octopus building on Forest St (opposite motel), and depart at 1.30pm on the dot.
