Field Day & Tour of STEP - 2pm to 4pm, Sunday 23 July

Posted by MichaelBedingfield

There will be a Field Day and Tour of Southern Tablelands Ecosystem Park (STEP) from 2pm to 4pm, on Sunday 23 July. All people are welcome.

STEP is a regional botanic garden, education and conservation centre demonstrating southern tablelands species within the National Arboretum Canberra. The STEP community group works in partnership with the Arboretum to create and sustain this garden. The garden is in Forest 20 of the Arboretum. You can find more information about it at their website: https://step.asn.au/

We will meet in the car park which is adjacent to and above Forest 20. After entering the main gate, just drive up and park at the Village Centre. See map on this page:

https://step.asn.au/about-us/where-is-step/

Our hosts will be Andy Russell and Jennie Widdowson both long term members of STEP and CNM, and possibly other experts from STEP will assist. We will be told about the history and goals of STEP and be shown around the large botanical garden they have created, all with native plant species from our local region.

RSVP:- If you wish to attend please leave a comment on this page or send me a message though my MESSAGE PAGE so we have an idea of the numbers attending.

I hope to see you there.

Sadly away that weekend but it should be great. I really enjoy Andy's newsletters with pics of the latest things flowering and growing at STEP.

Thanks to CNM and STEP for a great botanical tour. It will be worth going back to see how different plants look throughout the year.
