SUMMARY:Wattle Walks
DESCRIPTION:31 August – 6 September\, 11am – noon & 2pm – 3pm Free \nDid you know there are more species of wattles than even of our iconic eucalypts? It’s not surprising that the floral emblem of Australia is a wattle. What are those wonderful floral globes made up of? Why does their foliage vary so much? Take a free guided walk to find out more about wattles and see a wide variety of them in flower at this time of year. \nMeet at the flag near the Café bridge. No booking required for individuals\, but groups of more than six people should contact walks@friendsanbg.org.au a week before the planned walk.

SUMMARY:Anthony Hoffman ‘The Illawarra-Shoalhaven shrublands on volcanic outcrops ecological community’
DESCRIPTION:The Illawarra-Shoalhaven shrubland ecological community is dependent on the underlying substrate and provides a significant linkage between the rainforests and woodlands. \nAbstract\nThe Illawarra-Shoalhaven shrubland ecological community occurs on exposed ridgetops and slopes from the Great Eastern Escarpment to the sea between Wollongong and Batemans Bay. They are dependent on the underlying substrate formed over 66 million years ago and provide a significant linkage between the rainforests and woodlands of this increasingly developed landscape. \nBiography\nAnthony is a senior assessment officer for Ecological Communities in the federal Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and Water. For more than 15 years\, he has worked closely with the national Threatened Species Scientific Committee and many other experts to identify\, describe and conduct rigorous scientific assessments\, and recommend priority conservation actions\, for threatened ecological communities. Anthony has contributed to the listing of\, and/or national conservation plans for\, the 111 ecological communities that are recognised at the national level for priority protection\, management and recovery. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/DNXGO \nOne-hour talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations to support Gardens’ programs and development and thank all those who have donated. \nPlease note: unless otherwise indicated\, talks are in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; several talks are booked out very quickly. Bookings can be made about 30 days in advance until Wednesday night before the talk. \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. Some 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
