BM Conservation Society visit our Enviro Group and Koori Club

Looking at endemic plants

The Environmental team and Stage 3 Koori Club kids were lucky enough to have a visit from Cathy and Sue from the Blue Mountains Conservation Society. Sue and Cathy taught us identifying features of endemic plants and explained the importance of conserving plants such as the Zieria covenyi which is estimated to only have 270 individuals plants growing out on the Narrow Neck Peninsula. KPS was lucky enough to have received some sapling Zieria covenyi in 2020 from the Blue Mountains Conservation Society which have been planted in Gunar Garung and one of them is about to flower!
