Please join us for our webinar with guest speaker Dr. Philip Zylstra, Adjunct Associate Professor from the School of Molecular and Life Sciences, Curtin University.
The quantity of tickets needing to be reserved is based on how many individual devices will be using the webinar link, not how many people will be viewing the webinar from one device. I.e. if two people will be viewing the webinar on one account/device, only one ticket needs to be reserved.

David Knowles is the Spineless Wonders Biodiversity Inventory Surveys consultant based in Perth Western Australia.
He has always lived and breathed for the environment and its inhabitants. David has had 44 years of biosurvey experience in Australia, Vietnam, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and New Guinea. Alongside surveys, he studies, photographs, writes and encourages the appreciation of invertebrates and reptiles to many through school and other presentations and displays. His photographic library contains the largest private collection of WA macroinvertebrate images.
With world insect populations in decline for all sorts of anthropogenic reasons it is time for the few eco-literate members of our society to again stand up to eco-illiterate governments and their bureaucracies in their war of ignorance against the major proportion of our terrestrial macrofauna – the insects (‘bugs’). Some in the northern suburbs may have noticed the extensive burning occurring In the Moore River drainage. In my macro-invertebrate inventory surveys, I tend to target prime adult macroinvertebrate activity times like spring. A significant proportion of insect biodiversity is mature and seeking mates in springtime. DFES could not have targeted a better time to kill as many of our pollinators and leaf litter recyclers as possible!
“I suspect over the spring burning season that multi millions, if not trillions, of breeding animals die as a result. How do we change this extinction culture?”
Join us for the return of our much loved Branch Meetings with guest speaker our very own Alex George giving a special presentation on the ‘Plant Collectors of the South West’ from the early French to present day.

Over 20 years ago, a group of residents formed the Friends of Piesse Brook group. Over this time the group has fought a war against invasive weeds and it is now a joy to walk the many trails through the reserve and admire the colour and diversity and knowing that the group has contributed to its success.
The Wildflower Society uses its independent technical knowledge of WA’s wildflowers to help you better know, grow, enjoy and conserve the wildflowers of Western Australia.
