SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Paper artist and Cranbourne Friend Gail Stiffe is offering a hands-on workshop in Cyanotype artwork on Sunday 23 February\, for which we will be taking bookings. \nCyanotype is a simple photographic process that requires little special equipment or chemicals. It has changed only slightly since 1842 when Sir John Herschel discovered it. Also called blueprint\, it requires two chemicals that when mixed together become light-sensitive. These are painted onto paper or fabric and images are produced by either photographic negatives or by objects being placed on before exposure to UV. The chemicals wash out of the areas that are masked out and those areas exposed to the sun produce a beautiful blue image. \nTo find out more and book: \nhttps://cranbournefriends.tidyhq.com/public/schedule/events/66976-cyanotype-workshop-23-february \n

SUMMARY:Open House: Pookila Reintroduction by Dr Phoebe Burns
DESCRIPTION:          \nThe Pookila (Pseudomys novaehollandiae) has not been recorded at what has become the RBGV Cranbourne site since 1976 and was thus considered locally extinct.  There was probably a complex play of extinction factors but predation by cats and foxes was likely to be a significant factor. Of course that has been radically reduced by the predator-proof fence that surrounds our Cranbourne Gardens and so it was selected as suitable for reintroduction of what was once known as the New Holland Mouse. Formerly common in heathlands throughout much of south eastern Australia the Pookila conservation status is now considered threatened. \nRBGV has been working with Zoos Victoria and Moonlight Sanctuary in a team led by Dr Phoebe Burns to establish a genetically diverse population that will hopefully flourish at our secure and well managed conservation zone. A population of 30 has had a controlled release and it is envisaged that it will become a source of new populations that can be released into other suitable sites in the future. \nJoin Dr Phoebe Burns for a presentation on the Pookila reintroduction program and an update on progress to date. \nElliot Centre 2:00 – 3:00pm with Afternoon Tea to follow. \nPhoto:  Rohan Clarke

SUMMARY:Raising Rarity - Presentation and Tours
DESCRIPTION:Raising Rarity is an RBGV program designed to engage the wider community in the conservation of threatened Victorian plant species. \n“With over a third of plants in Victoria listed as threatened\, we need the help of the wider community to join us in our conservation efforts. With community involvement\, we can grow more plants in more locations and in climates they may be better suited to” says Dr Meg Hirst\, Seed Ecologist at RBGV. \nFollowing ground-breaking work with school students\, local government\, and other botanic gardens\, the newest aspect of this work is the possible commercialisation of a rare plant collection.  RBGV is trialling rare plants in the nursery and research beds at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne with the aim of making these available for purchase by the public in 3 or 4 years.   RBGV’s scientists and horticulturists are hoping to explore the ‘horticultural potential’ of each plant to determine whether it is suitable for inclusion in the program. The ultimate goal is to find endangered plants that are attractive and easy to grow\, as possible sales will help preserve the plant for the future. \nAt our event\, a presentation by Matt Henderson\, Raising Rarity Project Officer (Horticulture) and Tash van Velzun\, horticulturist and RBGV Education Officer\, will be followed by two tours in the Australian Garden: \n– to the Research Beds\, to see rare plants currently being developed \n– to the Eucalyptus Walk\, to see wild-collected plants from which the rare plants may come. \nThis is your opportunity to find out more about this vital research which hopes to preserve our plants for the future; you may also wish to sign up to a special Raising Rarity newsletter. \nTo find out more and book: \nhttps://cranbournefriends.tidyhq.com/public/schedule/events/69552-raising-rarity-presentation-and-tours \n
