SUMMARY:Australian National Herbarium Tour
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the Friends on a fascinating tour of the Australian National Herbarium (ANH). \nMaintained by CSIRO\, the ANH is one of the largest plant collections in the country\, with more than one million plant specimens. Some of the specimens were collected during Captain Cook’s 1770 expedition to Australia. \nThe ANH also houses specimens taken from the Australian National Botanic Gardens and helps to verify the scientific names used in labelling the Gardens’ collection of living plants. Specimens are also used for ongoing taxonomic and evolutionary research\, population biology and ecological studies. \nThis tour is exclusive to ANBG Friends. It is restricted to adults\, as we will be passing through or near laboratories with various hazards and chemicals. \nThe building is suitable for people with mobility issues. \nWhen: Wednesday\, 19 and 26 August\, at 10:00am\nWhere: Meet at CSIRO Black Mountain Site \nRSVP: Bookings are essential\, and open on 1 August. Click HERE to purchase a ticket. [https://www.trybooking.com/DNIYW ] \nThe cost for ANBG Friends is $10. \nAny enquiries about the tour should be directed to events@friendsanbg.org.au.

SUMMARY:Plant Recognition Group Workshop – Grassland visit

The visit will start at Umbagong Park where we will visit the beautiful Blue Devil Grassland; we will then proceed to Dawn Crescent grassland. If time permits\, we can walk down to Ginninderra Lake’s nearby shoreline where there’s a newly discovered population of the endangered and ACT endemic Ginninderra Peppercress. \nThese visits will be led by Rainer Rehwinkel\, an eminent grassland scientist\, along with other members of FOG\, Margaret Ning and Andrew Zelnik. FOG works to protect and ultimately recover grassy ecosystems\, through building strong community understanding\, skills\, and support. \nHand lenses will be available but please bring your own if you have one. \nWhen: Monday 19 October from 13.30 – 15.30.\nWhere: Please park outside the tennis courts at the corner of Moyes Cres with Southern Cross Drive in Holt.  Park along W side of Moyes and we will meet and walk to the grasslands. \nBookings ESSENTIAL: Please send your name and phone number to plantname@friendsanbg.org.au  We will be able to accommodate a slightly larger group for this visit but need to know who will be attending. \nPlease advise at least a day in advance if you need to cancel your booking\, so that a member on the waiting list can be offered the place.
