SUMMARY:Facts about Prescribed Burning in the South-West Forest Region
DESCRIPTION:This presentation by Peta Kelsey will describe the Department of Biodiversity\, Conservation and Attractions’ current prescribed burning program on the lands it manages in the South-West Forest Region. It will look at the effectiveness of the current regime in preventing wildfire and protecting people and infrastructure\, and also its impact on biodiversity and forest flammability.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAfter retiring at the end of 2023\, Peta took a private interest in\, and investigated prescribed burning in south-west Australian forests. As a member of the South-West Forest Defence Foundation for many years\, the foundation chose to publish Peta’s work in the booklet ‘Prescribed Burning Fact Sheets’ (https://southwestforestsdefence.org/prescribed-burning/). \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n     \n\n\n\nPeta is a physicist / mathematician. After graduating she worked as a geophysicist in the Antarctic\, Canberra and Fiji\, and then at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Curtin University. She spent the last 20 years of her career in what is now WA’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation\, managing the Aquatic Science Branch’s mathematical modelling team\, which involved modelling groundwater\, catchments and estuaries.  \n\n\n\n.

SUMMARY:Serventy Memorial Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:Biotic interactions – the essence of nature conservation\n\n\n\nSouthwestern Australia has a unique natural heritage. Our ecosystems contain many complex interactions between plants\, animals and fungi. Prof. Lamont will outline examples of these interactions such as occur with the Albany pitcher plant\, orchid mimicry\, the woylie\, and black cockatoos. He will explain how these cycles form an essential part of the environment that we all love and depend on. Content has been tailored for senior high school students and above. \n\n\n\nPurchase you ticket now. Ignore the optional access code unless you have been advised of one. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Emeritus Byron Lamont \n\n\n\nBiotic interactions – the essence of nature conservation \n\n\n\n\nByron is Distinguished Professor Emeritus in Plant Ecology\, at Curtin University. His expertise is adaptations of Mediterranean floras to fire\, poor soils\, drought\, herbivores and pollinators. Byron has published 420 papers since 1972\, currently cited 35\,000 times. He became a Member of the Order of Australia for services to botany in 2010. Since retirement in 2010\, Byron has published 115 papers\, and a book on the SW Australian flora (Groom and Lamont 2015\, de Gruyter Open). Byron is a regular speaker and excursion leader for naturalist and mature-age learning groups and occasional international conferences. \n\n\n\nThe Serventy Memorial Fund is a memorial to the contribution by the Serventy family to the Western Australian Naturalists’ Club\, with the aim of assisting and encouraging young people in the study of natural history. The Serventy Memorial Lecture is the main source of funding for the Serventy Memorial Prizes for students awarded annually at the four WA public universities.
