Myrtle Rust Management for Practitioners – Open Series – Session 3 – Thursday 29 Aug 2PM AEST

There is a need for horticulturists and practitioners managing Myrtle Rust susceptible collections to collaborate, share ideas and workshop problems.

To address this the ANPC, UNSW and the BGANZ Collections and Records Management group (BCARM) are collaborating to co-ordinate a quarterly series of free, informal virtual get togethers.

This series is exclusively focused on practical aspects of managing and maintaining a conservation collection of Myrtle Rust susceptible species and has an open forum structure. It is open to any practitioners across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand managing collections impacted by Myrtle Rust including local council nurseries.

The third session on 29 August 2024 will be on “Monitoring and Collecting from Wild Populations of Myrtle Rust Susceptible Species”. Craig Stehn from NSW DCCEEW will share his experience in surveying, monitoring and collecting from wild populations of Myrtle Rust impacted species.
