Approaches and Techniques for the Rehabilitation of The Australian Network for Plant Conservation and the Queensland Herbarium (EPA) will be running two workshops for the rehabilitation of native vegetation remnants. The workshops have been tailored to meet the regional needs and priorities of practitioners working in south east Queensland. A key goal of the workshops is the increased transfer and uptake of knowledge and skills gained from scientific investigation and practical experience. Dates Workshop
1 Workshop
2 Content Workshops 1 and 2 will be partial replicates, but may include different case studies, issues and presenters. Most sessions will be delivered by researchers and practitioners working in south east Queensland. There will be a strong focus on techniques for assessing the vegetation remnant (quality, threats, values) and the task ahead (the rehabilitation goal, issues such as provenance, conservation genetics, threatened species requirements, and the resources and constraints); planning the rehabilitation process, and incorporating monitoring from the beginning to enable ongoing assessment and adaptive management. Several interactive tools will be demonstrated, such as the Queensland Herbarium's mapping methodology and interactive identification tools for weeds, grasses, wattles and eucalypts, based on the Centre for Biological Information Technology's Lucid TM software tool. Participants will visit rehabilitation sites that provide lessons from both successful and less successful rehabilitation projects. More
