The Wildflower Society, through the Society’s Plant Survey Program, has been contributing to flora and vegetation studies since 1988. Each year the WSWAPSP Committee, a subcommittee of the Management Committee of the Society, puts the programme together. Many of our surveys have no direct funding, coordination being funded through the Society and contract surveys. If you, or someone you know, who is interested in commissioning a survey (or workshop) in the future please contact us by email (), or telephone Jolanda (0439978550).
This year we are carrying out the following surveys/activities:
ALL surveys are one or two days, depending on your availability.
HERBARIUM SESSIONS
Survey Related Sessions
Initial plant identification sessions involve sorting, and identification of collected specimens, data entry and specimen labelling and mounting. All herbarium sessions will be conducted in the Reference Herbarium of the WA State Herbarium. We strongly encourage those who participate in the field surveys to try and make time to help process the specimens.
The Wednesday Herbarium Group
A group of survey volunteers meet regularly on Wednesday at the WA Herbarium to complete identifications from the survey sessions. Volunteers are at the Reference Herbarium from 10.00 am – 3.30 pm on Wednesdays throughout the year. Anyone is welcome to come. We provide informal training in plant identification for volunteers as required.
If you know others who may be interested in the program feel free to pass a link onto them.
