Revisiting our successful Eucalyptus ID workshop

August 6, 2019

Throwback to our Eucalyptus ID workshop back in July. What a success! With nearly 20 participants from water management, ecologists, bush regen professionals, and volunteers. Cumberland, lower Hawkesbury, lower Blue Mountains, and Nepean ecotypes. Thanks to Peter Mobbs, our incredible teacher, our participants and coordinator Clare for organizing. Diversity and hybridization in Sydney’s very own back yard never looked (or smelled) so good…

Like what you see? We’ve still got a few places available for our second workshop! Book in here.

We’re looking for a new treasurer!
