SUMMARY:Andrew Skeoch ‘Deep Listening to Nature’
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n	How can we engage our hearing to connect more deeply with nature around us? Through vibrant recordings and spectrogram analysis that shows the beauty of birdsong\, Andrew Skeoch will guide us into hearing the languages of nature; developing our auditory awareness\, identifying species by ear\, recognising behaviours and repertoire\, and finding empathy with the voices of other beings. We’ll hear the environment around us in a new way. \nAndrew will be happy to sign copies of his new book. \nBiography  \n	Andrew Skeoch is a naturalist\, sound recordist\, environmental thinker and author of ‘Deep Listening to Nature’. \nOver the last thirty years\, he has documented the sounds of wild environments around the planet\, and through his label ‘Listening Earth’\, published over one hundred immersive soundscape recordings featuring habitats from most continents. \nThis experience has informed his educational work through both public speaking events and writings. He has given presentations to audiences ranging from local community and school groups to university students\, plus radio features\, keynote addresses and a TEDx talk. \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/COBIA \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/COBIA \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Many summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au.

SUMMARY:Botanic Art Group 2024 Annual Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the ANBG’s Botanic Art Group will hold its 17th annual exhibition and sale at the Visitor Centre Gallery\, with the theme ‘Bush Fragrance’. \nThe exhibition will feature fragrant Australian native plants\, and those from which a fragrance\, essence or oil is produced. \nMost of the works will be on sale\, with a proportion of the proceeds donated to the Friends of the ANBG to support the Gardens. Several works will be chosen to be donated by the Friends to the Gardens’ permanent collection. As in previous years\, there will also be a work to be won by the lucky winner of a raffle. \nThe paintings and drawings on show employ a variety of media and techniques. All of them strive to combine accurate and clear illustration of the plant with a visually compelling and aesthetically rewarding composition. \nAs well as the framed works\, there will also be some unframed works and a selection of greeting cards by the members of the Group. \n.
