23 October 2011 – Maldon Urban Landcare Orchid Survey

Posted on 20 October, 2011 by Connecting Country

The Department of Sustainability and Environment’s Biodiversity staff together with Maldon Urban Landcare (MULGA) are conducting a search for an endangered orchid, Pterostylis sp. aff. bicolor (also known as the Sutton Grange Greenhood) in the Maldon Historic Area. It is only known to exist at a small number of sites in this part of central Victoria.

If you are interested in being part of this activity come along to the Beehive Chimney Car Park, Maldon at 10:00am on Sunday 23 October. Click here for map. The group will then travel to search areas. All are welcome.

MULGA will supply a sausage sizzle lunch.
