The next meeting of the Lilium & Bulb Society of SA is on Wednesday, October 1 at the Village Well, 54 Strathalbyn Road, Aldgate at 7pm for 7.30pm.
Guest Speakers: We have very special speakers - Robert and Rosalie Lawrence, speaking about native orchids.
Robert and Rosalie are conservationists who are passionate about using citizen science to connect people to the natural world.
They have a broad interest in plants, especially native orchids and over the years, have participated in orchid surveys and volunteering thousands of hours to collect invaluable data for researchers.
Since 2006, Robert and Rosalie have run Heritage Bushcare, providing sensitive W**d control for the conservation of threatened plants and mentoring the next generation of South Australia's conservation land managers.
They are actively involved in numerous citizen science programs, including the Great Koala Count, BioBlitzes, the City Nature Challenge for Greater Adelaide and Wild Orchid Watch (WOW). The WOW project is testament to Rosalie and Robert's vision to engage Australian amateur naturalists, orchid enthusiasts and citizen scientists in large scale data collection in collaboration with scientists and large scientific institutions.
All welcome and you can join on the night if you wish - just $20.
