The Australian Network for Plant Conservation Inc.

Courses & Workshops

The Australian Network for Plant Conservation frequently organises long and short courses and workshops in plant conservation techniques. These courses are usually targeted at all those involved in plant conservation, be they private landholders, local government, community group facilitators, state and federal government and industry groups. See also ANPC's National Conferences.

Participants in ANPC workshops and courses can receive a 'Record of Attendance' certificate if requested on the form at the time of registering. This is not formal accreditation but it may be required by employers. It may also be useful if you later apply for 'recognition of prior learning' through a Registered Training Organisation.

The photo shows participants at the recent Plant Identification for Grassy Ecosystems workshop held in Canberra in March 2013. The participants learnt about standard monitoring techniques, setting up a 20 x 20 m flora plot and recording all species within.
