Australasian Plant Conservation
Are you involved in plant conservation work? Are you a member of a local revegetation group, or a landholder, or a scientist conducting research into threatened species? Or perhaps you’re just interested in Australia’s native plants. Whatever your interest, Australasian Plant Conservation is a must for anyone involved in plant conservation.
Australasian Plant Conservation (APC) – the quarterly bulletin of the Australian Network for Plant Conservation – is a forum for information exchange for all those involved in plant conservation. Each edition contains a range of articles on plant conservation issues which reflect the interests of the range of ANPC’s membership. Regular features include lists of the latest relevant publications, news from the Australian Seedbank Partnership and relevant book reviews. APC is published quarterly, in autumn, winter, spring and summer. APC is provided free to ANPC members within Australia and worldwide as part of their subscription.
