August 23rd workshop
Jenny....@dpiw.tas.gov.au
Thanks to all those who attended the first workshop this Saturday. I hope you all got something out of it! I have attached the hand out for all those who didn't make it. There may also be another natural values atlas workshop in September, so I'll keep you posted.
The second "Working with Threatened Flora" workshop on August 23rd is now full, with 30 people registered. Please let me know if you can no longer come, and I will let somebody else fill your place. It will be held on August 23rd at the Peter Murrell Reserve near Blackmans Bay. I will send everybody out a map closer to the date. To get to the site, you will need to be able to walk for approximately 10 minutes uphill on a four wheel drive track.
I am also looking for helpers on the day. So if anybody feels they are particularly comfortable with Plant ID, or using a GPS (putting the unit on the correct settings, taking waypoints and finding waypoints), please let me know.
The rough plan for the day is:
9:15 – 9:30 Introduction
9:30 – 10:15 Using a GPS
10:15 – 10:45 Plant ID skills
10:45- 11:15 Morning tea
11:15 – 12:00 Recording important site information and threat assessment.
12:00 – 12:45 Recording important population information and monitoring
techniques
12:45 – 1:00 Wrap up (what to do with the data you record, and questions.
(We will split into two groups for the sessions).
It should be a good morning, lets hope for good weather
and some plants in flower!
Cheers,
Jen
