ORCHID STEWARDS GROUP

The Orchid Stewards group is a new group established in 2023. The goal of this group is to engage the next generation of orchid stewards by promoting stewardship for the beautiful and unique orchids of Australia. We also want to encourage and facilitate knowledge exchange between new and old members of ANOS Vic that may have varying experiences with orchid conservation. Although this group will focus on orchids, we also want to spark interest in botany/ecology in general so we will try and include other interesting plant species when we are out and about.

All members are welcome to join our Orchid Stewards activities and we will try and include collaborative activities with other groups, such as the Terrestrial Study Group and Conservation Group, to facilitate knowledge exchange among members. Like other groups, some of our activities may have limited numbers to avoid any damage to sensitive areas, meaning you will need to register so we can keep track of numbers and provide activity details.

Our activities will include hiking and camping to observe orchids in the wild, conservation activities such as assisting with site management and targeted searches, learning propagation techniques and getting involved in experimental trials.

Dendrobium delacatum X kingianum

Activities

All orchid related activities and outings are dependent on the orchid flowering time, local events, seasonal conditions and in some cases the availability of a guide.

All field trips, particularly those held during Spring and Summer, will be subject to review dependent upon rainfall and fires etc.

Combined group field trips are often primarily conservation activities but there is a high possibility that you will also encounter a variety of other orchids.

Event details will be confirmed closer to the date so check this page and the current Bulletin to keep abreast of any updates as they become available.  All details regarding the event organiser, requirements, meeting places and times will be printed in the Bulletin in the month prior to the activity.

For further information contact the Orchid Stewards Group Coordinator.

Just because an activity is advertised on this site as going ahead
there may well be limits on the number of members who may attend. Therefore...

You must register with the activity organiser to find out whether you may attend
and to be kept up to date of any last minute changes.
