SUMMARY:Botanic Art Groups exhibition 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the ANBG’s Botanic Art Group will hold its 18th annual exhibition and sale at the Visitor Centre Gallery\, with the theme ‘Rainforest’. \nThe exhibition will feature Australian native plants that grow in rainforest zones from tropical\, subtropical\, coastal\, dry or temperate. Our rainforests extend from the far north to Tasmania.  \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.

SUMMARY:Plant Recognition Group - Macrophytes in streams and wetlands
DESCRIPTION:The next Plant Recognition Group workshop will be on macrophytes in streams and wetlands. The workshop will be led by Dr Jane Roberts\, a retired vegetation ecologist\, who has an ecological consultant to government in vegetation and water management primarily on lowland rivers in the southern Murray-Darling Basin. Dr Roberts will provide an overview and show live material\, species selected being dependent on availability. Binocular microscopes and other aids for identification will be available for the workshop. \nWhen: Monday 14 April 12.30 – 3.30pm including extra time to practice if you wish. \nWhere: Celia Rosser Room\, Banksia Centre\, ANBG.  \nBookings ESSENTIAL: Please send your name and phone number to plantname@friendsanbg.org.au   Seats are limited for this session\, so booking ahead is mandatory. \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.

SUMMARY:Dr Peter Fullagar and Chris Davey - 'Potential impacts of a rodent eradication program on the Lord Howe Island lowland terrestrial avifauna'
DESCRIPTION:Peter and Chris\, from Canberra Birds\, will describe the extent to which rodent a control program caused a detectable change in abundance of birds on Lord howe Island.  They matched the avian response to rodent removal in terms of the known biology of the species\, particularly the Lord Howe Island Woodhen. \nIn response to a request from the Lord Howe Island Board\, spring surveys were conducted on the lowland terrestrial avifauna in the spring of 2013\, 2014\, 2016 to 2018 prior to the rodent eradication programme that commenced in 2019. A final spring survey was conducted in 2022. \nThe spring surveys were based on the number of individuals recorded on 96 2 ha plots each surveyed four times during a one-week period. The plots were spatially stratified across the northern and western part of the Lord Howe Island lowlands. The count data were analysed using a generalized linear mixed model with Rodent control\, Vegetation type and Time after sunrise as fixed effects and Observer\, Plot and Year as random effects. \nOf the 15 species recorded across the 96 plots only nine were recorded with sufficient frequency to permit analysis.  Our emphasis here was to assess the extent to which the rodent control programme had caused a detectable change in abundance (were the numbers in 2022 outside the range of abundances recorded across 2013 to 2018) and to match avian response to rodent removal in terms of the known biology of the species. Emphasis was placed on the Lord Howe Island Woodhen to see if this endangered species would show a positive response to rodent removal. \nBiography \nDr Peter Fullagar and Chris Davey\, both now retired\, spent their working careers at CSIRO in Canberra. They have worked together for many years on issues concerning animal ecology and conservation issues. Since retiring they continue to work on projects of shared interest. \nBoth have been members of Canberra Birds (Canberra Ornithologists Group) for many years and often utilise the expertise of the Group as volunteers for various citizen science projects. \nBookings open 14 March.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CXZXL
