Workshop – Translocation of Threatened Plants, 26-27 May 2011, Melbourne

Have you been involved in, or would you like to be involved in, the planning, approval or implementation of a translocation project for threatened flora? The Australian Network for Plant Conservation (ANPC) Translocation of Threatened Plants workshop on 26-27 May 2011 in Melbourne will provide an excellent insight into translocation, which is one of the many tools available to assist in conserving threatened plant species. It involves the deliberate transfer of plants or regenerative plant material from one place to another. The workshop will include case studies of translocation programs, highlighting lessons to be learnt. The workshop also includes a half-day field trip to translocation recipient sites for Diuris fragrantissima, Pimelea spinescens and the Striped Legless Lizard.
