Sutherland Group Zoom meeting, Greg Keighery, one of the best known and respected botanists in Australia

He was the keynote speaker at the ANPSA conference in Albany last year and will reprise his presentation for the benefit of those unable to attend. The title of his talk will be World Class Western Australia - Blooming Biodiversity.
