Angair members and editors Margaret MacDonald and Gail Slykhuis have spent the past few months making sure the new book contains all the changes advised by taxonomists regarding flower classifications since the book’s first publication in 2009.<\/p>\n
The wildflower show will follow its standard display format when showing attendees which environmental weeds continue to threaten the Surf Coast’s bush and heathlands.<\/p>\n
Mr Walmsley said attendees would also be able to go on two specially designed hands-on walks to learn weed identification and removal techniques.<\/p>\n
“It’s always a great way to be introduced to the attractions of the Surf Coast’s environments.<\/p>\n
“You’ve got the whole collection of indigenous plants, and flora and fauna specimens there on the weekend.<\/p>\n
“There’s something for everyone who wants an understanding of the local environment, so if anyone’s keen for that, it’s a great way to do it over one or both days.”<\/p>\n
Local environmental organisations and authorities will be on hand to answer community questions, indigenous plants will be for sale, and there will be plenty of children’s activities.<\/p>\n
Admission to the Angair Wildflower and Arts Weekend is $5 for adults, $2 for students and pensioners, and free for children.<\/p>\n
All proceeds will go directly towards Angair’s conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
The event runs from 10am to 4pm on both days.<\/p>\n
