To celebrate National Science Week we are raising awareness of the pathogen Phytophthera cinnamomi (Dieback), its potential impact, and ways to minimise these effects on our beautiful Australian endemic plants.

The P. cinnamomi lifecycle, transport and barriers to reproduction will be discussed with Dr Peter Scott (Arborcarbon, DWG), Dr Janene Sproul (Murdoch, DWG) and members from the Roleybushcare Dieback Busters community group (https://www.roleybushcare.com.au/).
