FOBIF produces 2 new resources
Posted on 23 May, 2014 by Connecting Country
The Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests’ publication, Mosses of Dry Forests in south eastern Australia, is now available. The book will be launched by Frances Cincotta on 31 May 2014. The launch invitation can be downloaded here. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The guide contains an introduction explaining the life cycle of mosses and their importance in the ecosystem; tips on how to approach identification; detailed descriptions of common, striking species; and appendices carefully distinguishing mosses from liverworts and lichens.
The book is a community project of the Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests with generous support from The Norman Wettenhall Foundation. Connecting Country also supported the project. An order form for the book can be downloaded here.
FOBIF has also produced an attractive and informative poster on Fungi of the Mount Alexander Region. The A2 sized poster will be available for sale ($5) at the launch of the FOBIF moss guide. This production of this poster has also been supported by The Norman Wettenhall Foundation. An order form can be download here.
You can also purchase both these resources from Beth Mellick (Norman Wettenhall Foundation) at The Hub, Office 5, 233b Barker St, Castlemaine (enter via glass door on Templeton St) or the Environment Shop, 325 Barker Street, Castlemaine.
Hi Christine. My understanding is that there will be some speeches at 11.30am, followed by drinks and nibbles. It will probably run not long beyond 12 midday. Chris
I will attend but would like to know how long the session is as I wont be able to get there for 11 am. Thank you, Christine.
