National Science Week Webinar - Nurturing knowledge for all

  • - (AEST)

How can science help protect Victoria's most threatened plant species and the landscapes they call home?

Join experts from Parks Victoria and Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria for an exciting webinar exploring how emerging plant science is driving conservation across our state. Get excited for a discussion of how researchers and land managers use science skills to understand threatened ecological communities, plant adaptations and the impacts of environmental change, while restoring and protecting these significant ecosystems. Discover how students are helping safeguard threatened plant species while engaging with First Nations perspectives and learning about the importance of collaboration in caring for Country.

  • Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria's Raising Rarity outreach team will discuss their innovative program, which gives young people the opportunity to move beyond learning about conservation to actively contributing to it. 
  • A conservation specialist from Parks Victoria will explore how science is helping protect Victoria's Ramsar wetlands through coastal restoration. 

Ideal for Years 7 to 10 Science and VCE Environmental Science, this webinar brings contemporary conservation science into the classroom through Victorian case studies.
