We have been delighted with the response to our crowd funding campaign. Thank you to those who have donated. However, if you haven't donated, there is still a little time.....so jump over to our crowd funding site to make your donation. We have always been aware that our Project has a place in history. It has brought Dr Beckler’s contribution to Australian plant knowledge to the fore.
We collect specimens to sit alongside Beckler’s in the National Herbarium of Victoria, and each specimen has detailed records of habitat, soil conditions, GPS location and so on. This provides current data on plants that exist in the Menindee Lakes/Kinchega National Park area, data that, when combined with Beckler’s collection, could be very useful for longitudinal studies. It is a great example of how citizen scientists can contribute to scientific knowledge. Plans for our Exhibition are well under way, but we would like to further our plans for the Project with funding for future publications. We would love you to help us with our Project.
