Australian Network For Plant Conservation Inc
Network in Canberra

The mission of the ANPC is to Urge and thrive plant conservation in Australia. Is a forum for the exchange of information and ideas. Publishes plant conservation techniques and guidelines. Holds workshops and courses in conservation and rehabilitation techniques. Promotes an ecological focus in on ground conservation, rehabilitation and management of remnant vegetation, threatened plants and ecological communities. Provides members with a quarterly bulletin and discounts for workshops and conferences. A couple of articles are reproduced here to record how things were.

The location and distribution of obvious relic or remnant populations of this iconic species were collated and documented to guide future genetic research, seed collection strategies for the establishment of Seed Production Areas and coming field restoration works. She has managed the State conservation seed bank for scanty and threatened species since 1993, a facility that supports wild species conservation and one that is strongly linked with the trans location of species as a recovery action. Her exceptional interests are the application of genetic research, ecological restoration, trans locations, monitoring pollination, fire ecology, climate change, invertebrate plant interactions, sustainable land management, and community involvement, including Aboriginal groups and farmers. Flourish and maintain a national Network of organizations and individuals that include the range of stakeholders in plant conservation, including land managers. Contribute to the recovery and long term survival of threatened plant populations, species, communities and ecosystems. There is any change to the membership of the management committee of the public fund or. A majority of the members of the management committee of the fund shall be responsible persons’ as defined by the Guidelines to Register of Environmental organizations. There were presentations on the latest findings pertinent to plant conservation and native vegetation rehabilitation, field trips demonstrating plant conservation in action, social activities to enhance networking, and a seed industry workshop to identify the key issues, gaps and opportunities in the Australian native seed industry and regional seed supply chains. While the challenges remain the alike how to deal with habitat loss, how to recuperate small populations, how to link habitat it is definite that restoration goals, extinction risk assessments and species trans locations have all been re imagined in the face of climate change. Conducted by Australian Network for Plant Conservation (ANPC) Project Manager, Martin Driver, the workshops focused on the resources available to identify native plants, systems for narrowing down the identification of plants and the use or management of those plants. There have also been suggestions and ideas about the need to extend the knowledge and strategies outlined into more detailed local encourage workshops to face regional seed needs and project support. Martin gave an introduction to plant identification, timing of seed ripening, seed collecting and diverse methods of seed collection, seed storage and using seed for native vegetation projects as healthy as provided an overview of seed germination and dormancy. Martin also provided an overview of how to flourish a seed collection strategy both on a local and regional scale. Martin has over 35 years experience in native vegetation management and reclamation and has helped establish and operate several important scale seed banks as healthy as deliver direct seeding vegetation enhancement projects across the state. The needs of the community need to be identified and it is imperative to consider collecting the right seeds at the correct time. This led to discussion about the needs of state and regional strategies through LL to encourage and coordinate seed supplies and the need for further workshops on field identification of locally native plants and understanding their ecology and management in the dry landscape. This field trip will suit those interested in propagation of threatened species, the role of Botanic Gardens in applied conservation, and remnant vegetation management. Currently known from only one site has not been found at two other sites for more than 30 years. The conference brings together researchers, industry, community and environmental consu
