ANPC celebrated&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.plantday12.eu/home.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Fascination of Plants Day 2013&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by launching a &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/fascinationofplantsday2013.html" target="_blank"&gt;slide show of some of Australia's most threatened plants&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/fascinationofplantsday2013.html" target="_blank"&gt;slide show&lt;/a&gt; depicts just a few of the hundreds of Australian plant species facing extinction and highlights the diversity of threats facing our flora and the range of recovery actions being implemented.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the image above to view the slide show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The goal of fascination of Plants Day was to get as many people as possible around the world fascinated by plants and enthused about the importance of plant science for agriculture, in sustainably producing food, as well as for horticulture, forestry, and environmental conservation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
ANPC recently welcomed our new Business Manager, Jo Lynch. Jo is replacing Merryl Bradley who will be retiring 30th June. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jo’s background is in bush regeneration and noxious weed management in the Sydney region. She moved to Canberra 5 years ago where she has since been working on the challenge of raising two children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jo is thrilled to be joining the ANPC and will be working on increasing the organisation’s profile and funding through grants, donations and sponsorships, as well as a few other new ideas. Her vision is for the ANPC to grow in size and influence to equal other national environmental organisations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jo will be working Thursdays and Fridays in the &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/contact.html" target="_blank"&gt;Canberra office&lt;/a&gt;. If you have any fundraising or promotional ideas, please feel free to contact her on (02) 6250 9523, 0438 775823 or via email: anpc (at) anpc.asn.au.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/b&gt; These one-day events will present a comprehensive summary of what is known of this new threat to Australia’s biodiversity, the knowledge gaps, and management options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The emphasis will be on wild-plant conservation, but there will also be information relevant for people from the horticulture, forestry, and bush-products sectors who wish to know more about Myrtle Rust, how to monitor for it, and where to find information on the control measures available for horticultural sites and suppliers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day will also include workshop sessions to assist you to think about regional priorities, and options for changes to work practices for your sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This course will provide comprehensive information on the disease, and help you to:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;recognize the disease in the field and in cultivation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;identify species and ecological communities at risk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;decide what to monitor before and if the disease arrives&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;assess the risks and consequences of spreading the disease, and how to avoid doing so.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The slide show will be launched online 18 May 2013 as part of &lt;a href="http://www.plantday12.eu/home.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Fascination of Plants Day&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Images can be habitat shots, close-ups, or of someone doing something (e.g. seed collecting, monitoring or planting). The slide show will be similar in style to &lt;a href="http://www.anpc.asn.au/21threatenedplants.html" target="_blank"&gt;one we released last year for Threatened Species Day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Preference will be given to critically endangered and endangered entities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Images need to be original high resolution and be accompanied by information (less than 150 words)&amp;nbsp;on the species or community pictured, status, threats to its survival, and what is being done to conserve it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Photographer credits will be included so please include photographer name. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please email images and information to projects (at) anpc.asn.au by 5pm Wed 8th May. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We'll upload the final slide show to the &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/" target="_blank"&gt;ANPC website&lt;/a&gt; by Wed 15th May ready to promote via social media on World Fascination of Plants Day 18 May.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;**Note - this issue is almost full - so if you wish to submit an article please contact the editor, Selga Harrington (selga.harrington (at) gmail.com, asap. Deadline for submissions is Friday 10 May 2012.**&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are seeking articles for the June – August 2013 issue of Australasian Plant Conservation (APC), the bulletin of the ANPC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The issue will be on the theme ‘Fire and threatened biodiversity’.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fire is a major tool available for land management and can be used to protect property from wildfire, protect fire sensitive habitats, maximise biodiversity and manage woody weeds. Although fire is an important management tool, there are many gaps in our knowledge of how and how often it can and should be used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We wish to explore the use of fire for plant conservation, in particular for threatened species and ecological community management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Articles can range from overviews of the use of fire as a management tool, to case studies illustrating particular examples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further guidelines can be found &lt;a href="http://www.anbg.gov.au/anpc/apc/APCGuideContrib.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also welcome:&lt;br /&gt;
· book reviews&lt;br /&gt;
· titles of interesting recent publications or resources, and where they can be found&lt;br /&gt;
· conference, workshop, course and fieldwork announcements&lt;br /&gt;
· details of relevant publications, information resources and websites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deadline for submissions Friday 10th May.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;**REGISTRATIONS CLOSE THIS WEEK &amp;nbsp;THURSDAY 28th April**&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This two day workshop will provide participants with the knowledge required to effectively plan, implement and evaluate translocation projects for threatened flora.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;This&amp;nbsp;successful&amp;nbsp;workshop has now been delivered 15 times across Australia and internationally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions addressed include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When is it appropriate to use translocation as a tool to conserve threatened species?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What needs to be done when planning a translocation program?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How should a translocation program be implemented?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What ongoing management and evaluation is required?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
The workshop will include case studies of translocation programs, highlighting lessons to be learnt and an optional full-day field trip to translocation recipient sites for a range of threatened plants and a tour of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Seed Bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

We are seeking articles for the June – August 2013 issue of &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/apc.html" target="_blank"&gt;Australasian Plant Conservation (APC)&lt;/a&gt;, the bulletin of the ANPC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The issue will be on the theme ‘Fire and threatened biodiversity’.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fire is a major tool available for land management and can be used to protect property from wildfire, protect fire sensitive habitats, maximise biodiversity and manage woody weeds. Although fire is an important management tool, there are many gaps in our knowledge of how and how often it can and should be used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We wish to explore the use of fire for plant conservation, in particular for threatened species and ecological community management.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How have you used fire to manage threatened ecological communities, threatened species or their habitats? What was achieved, what were the strengths and weaknesses, and lessons learnt?  Do you have insights on the effects of fire on a threatened species and lessons on how fire could be used in their management?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Articles can range from overviews of the use of fire as a management tool, to case studies illustrating particular examples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
General articles not on the theme are also welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Articles generally should not exceed 1200 words and authors are encouraged to submit two or three high resolution images to illustrate their article. Further guidelines can be found &lt;a href="http://www.anbg.gov.au/anpc/apc/APCGuideContrib.pdf"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also welcome:&lt;br /&gt;
·         book reviews&lt;br /&gt;
·         titles of interesting recent publications or resources, and where they can be found&lt;br /&gt;
·         conference, workshop, course and fieldwork announcements&lt;br /&gt;
·         details of relevant publications, information resources and websites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Deadline for submissions is Friday 10 May 2012.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are intending to submit an article or wish to discuss possibilities, please contact the Editor, Selga Harrington (selga.harrington (at) gmail.com, by 26 April.&lt;br /&gt;

ANPC donors were recently thanked for their support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ANPC and its Public Fund was entered on the Register of Environmental Organisations and became entitled to receive tax deductible donations in July of 2007. People who &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/Support/Donations.html"&gt;donate to the ANPC Public Fund&lt;/a&gt; can claim that donation as a tax deduction. Since the establishment of the Public Fund the ANPC has received 71 donations totalling over $3,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last year, the ANPC committee decided to use part of those funds to purchase a laptop and litepro for use at our workshops and conferences. The equipment has already been used at a number of workshops and at our recent 9th National Conference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Every small donation will enable us to purchase equipment or services to help us&amp;nbsp;fulfill&amp;nbsp;our mission to promote and improve plant conservation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donations are tax deductible.

In 2012 the ANPC celebrated 21 years promoting and developing plant conservation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To mark the occasion the &lt;a href="http://www.anbg.gov.au/" target="_blank"&gt;Australian National Botanic Gardens&lt;/a&gt; hosted a '21 Gum Salute'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21 people, each representing many more active ANPC members,  each planted a Eucalypt at the gardens.&lt;br /&gt;

This two day workshop will introduce participants to grassy ecosystems, their diversity, ecology and provide the skills and information required to positively identify a range of common grassland plants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/courses/TSR_Workshops/Canberra_flyer.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d9P86dgejYE/UPy4GkAEq2I/AAAAAAAAAGA/73Zszx2dp-k/s640/ANPC_PlantIDGrassyEcosystemsWshop_CanberraMar13.jpg" width="451" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We will use some of the most commonly encountered plant groups, including grasses, eucalypts and daisies, to introduce you to the best identification resources (printed, on-line, and interactive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will also learn how to access the experts through the identification services of the major herbaria. Along the way we will de-mystify identification ‘keys’, and introduce you to useful field characters to look for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The workshop is targeted at the beginner level, but will also provide a good opportunity for those more experienced in plant identification to refresh their skills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;For more information, including a &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/courses/TSR_Workshops/Canberra_flyer.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;flyer&lt;/a&gt; and registration form please visit the &lt;a href="http://anpc.asn.au/courses/TSR_Workshops/Canberra.html" target="_blank"&gt;workshop webpage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This two day workshop will provide participants with the knowledge required to effectively plan, implement and evaluate translocation projects for threatened flora.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions addressed include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;When is it appropriate to use translocation as a tool to conserve threatened species?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What needs to be done when planning a translocation program?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How should a translocation program be implemented?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What ongoing management and evaluation is required?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The workshop will include case studies of translocation programs, highlighting lessons to be learnt and an optional full-day field trip to translocation recipient sites for a range of threatened plants.&lt;br /&gt;
