 ANPC Translocation Workshops in Regional NSW – 2005 The Australian Network for Plant Conservation is running three one-day workshops on the Translocation of Threatened Plants in regional NSW during 2005. Locations and dates Queanbeyan Newcastle Coffs Harbour Content and audience 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? Then this workshop is relevant to you! Questions to be addressed include:
The workshop will include case studies of translocation programs, highlighting lessons to be learnt. Translocation 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. Translocation can be used to enhance existing populations; reintroduce a species to a site where it formerly occurred but where it is now extinct; and to introduce a species to a site where it hasn't been recorded previously. The presenters are translocation experts who were involved in developing the revised Guidelines for the Translocation of Threatened Plants in Australia (ANPC, 2004). There will also be local experts presenting local case studies. Workshop fees $50 (including GST); includes morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, plus a copy of the Guidelines for the Translocation of Threatened Plants in Australia (this fee is well below cost as it is being subsidised by the NSW Environmental Trust).
