Robert Lawrence, NOSSA vice-President, was the speaker at the May 25th meeting. He spoke on his work in Native Vegetation Restoration projects in South Australia. Throughout his years of work, Robert monitored the orchids using them as a tool to assess the effectiveness of weed control.
In this talk, he shares the lessons learnt and conclusions he has drawn as a result. He concludes that orchids can be used as a Key Performance Indicator of the success of native restoration work. He cites Heather Whiting – the understorey drives the ecosystem in successful restoration.
