It is wonderful to see one of the newest recipients of a Mary MacKillop Today Highways and Byways Small Grant already putting their project into action.
The Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium will host a Eucalypt ID Workshop in September, giving participants an opportunity to learn more about the diversity of eucalypts found in their local region.
Presented by Professor Rod Fensham, a botanist at the University of Queensland and Queensland Herbarium with broad experience researching the flora and vegetation of Australia, the workshop will begin with a theory session before heading into the field to explore and identify a variety of local eucalypt species.
Eucalypt ID Workshop
Date and time: Sunday 6 September 2026, at 9.30am
Location: Exhibition Centre, Mezzanine Floor Function Room, Stanthorpe Showgrounds
Cost: $10, including morning tea, lunch and handout material

The project is supported through the Mary MacKillop Today Highways and Byways Small Grants Program.
We are delighted to see the project progressing and the local community being given an opportunity to discover, learn about and connect with their native flora.
