Have you ever wondered how those unusual lumps and bumps that you may see on leaves, stems, flower buds were formed? Or what produced those huge lumps or scribbly patterns on the trunks of certain trees?
All will be answered by Joan Heavey, the next speaker at Noosa Parks Associations, Friday Forum on June 23.
Joan has been the convenor for the NPA Botany Group for the past 10 years. She has always had an interest in botany but became serious about it 20 years ago when she led a volunteer Bushcare group for about 16 years.
Joan has an amazing broad botanical knowledge which she loves to share. Come along to the Friday Forum to learn how galls, burls and other oddities are formed, why they occur and the type of plants that are most susceptible.
Everyone is welcome at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville. The forum starts at 10:30am and morning tea is available at 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by tap and go at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.
Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.
