SUMMARY:Jane Cottee ‘STEP by STEP: 15 years for Forest 20’
DESCRIPTION:Jane\, President of STEP\, will trace the story\, with its ups and downs\, of Forest 20 at the National Arboretum Canberra and outline the strategy for the next 10 years. \nAbstract \n	It is 15 years since the first trees were planted for the Southern Tablelands Regional Botanic Garden\, located at Forest 20\, National Arboretum Canberra. Over this time STEP volunteers have seen several ‘ups and downs’ but have maintained their focus on developing an educational and visitor focussed resource. This talk will trace the story of Forest 20 and outline the strategy for the next 10 years. \nBiography  \n	Jane Cottee has been working with plants throughout her working life\, starting at the age of 17\, selling herb plants in her mother’s craft shop in Queanbeyan.  She was a horticultural educator at Canberra Institute of Technology for 25 years\, before retiring to take on volunteering roles both at STEP (Southern Tablelands Ecosystems Park) and the Australian National Botanic Gardens.  Jane is the current President at Step and also a Volunteer Guide at ANBG. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CQGLY \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/CQGLY \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.
