South East - AGM and talk by Lyndal Thornburn - A pity you missed the wildflowers'

COVID 19 restrictions will still apply at this meeting.

Members will be required to sign our attendance record, and supply contact details for tracing purposes should that need arise. Also, you need to supply your own refreshments, as a “no sharing” policy is adopted by the committee until we are advised by APS NSW Region that this requirement has been relaxed. We plan to meet indoors, and it would assist if you could bring along an easily managed chair, just in case.

We will keep you informed of any changes to plans. I hope to see you all many times during the year.

"A Pity You Missed the Wildflowers" a talk by Lyndal Thorburn

Bio:

Dr Lyndal Thorburn is an ecologist whose keen interest in gardening and native plants has been with her since childhood. Despite not working directly in biology, she has maintained her interest of all things plants through long membership of ANPS Canberra (of which she is now a Life Member) and past involvement in organisations like the Canberra Ornithologists' Group and Barren Grounds Nature Reserve.

Lyndal has been a member of the Eremophila Study Group since 1985 and its leader since 2015.

She and her husband Tom have been active in the propagation activities of ANPS Canberra since 1979 and host a hotbed and greenhouse on their Queanbeyan property. Lyndal and Tom take photos of plants, bugs and birds wherever they travel. Lyndal is currently documenting the return to life of their 7 acre Surf Beach wet sclerophyll forest block (burnt on New Year's Eve in the Mogo fire), posting their findings on the Budawang Coast Nature Map.
