Diana’s very passionate and long service to the Wildflower Society has been awarded.
Diana’s willingness to take on leadership roles for the Wildflower Society is admirably demonstrated by her being President of the Murdoch Branch, twice, the first time as the 3rd President of the Branch in 1992-1994 and again in 2008-2010. She was also Vice President in 1994-1995. She has been continuously on the committee of the Murdoch Branch since 1989, a year after it was founded in 1988.
Diana also served on the Society’s Management Committee in the mid 1990’s when she was engaged at the WA Herbarium. During this time, she managed, and contributed to, a flora survey of the Kalannie Goodlands at Dalwallinu. Diana also organised and participated in flora surveys the Cardup Nature Reserve and Adjacent Bushland, Byford, and Lake Kogolup, South Lake (2011) on behalf of the Wildflower Society.
Over the years, Diana’s enthusiasm for sharing her wide botanical knowledge, and in particular her love of the local flora, has resulted in a number of public wildflower walks conducted each year by the Murdoch Branch (stay tuned – they are still on this year!).
