This one-hour talk will take us on an 'uplifting journey' of our botanical surroundings. And a peek en route at some fungi and lichens, and their roles in the ecosystem. We will also look at how water makes the 'seemingly impossible' climb to the tops of the tallest trees.
Located in the Treehouse Seminar Room, Wellington Botanic Garden ki Paekākā. Free of charge. You’re welcome to bring along your own ‘brown bag’ lunch to enjoy during the talk.
The speaker is Reg Harris, a volunteer guide [botany] at Wellington Botanic Garden.
Reg delivers botany lectures for diverse audiences, delving into plant interactions, adaptive radiation, tropisms, and more. As a dedicated volunteer guide at Wellington Botanic Garden (WBG), he pioneered collaborations between WBG and Victoria University, organizing annual field labs for biology students.
