Fantastic collaboration at 2016 workshop

Last month it was my absolute pleasure to work with the brilliant staff at Auckland Botanic Gardens to host the second NZ Epiphyte Workshop. Our theme of "working with canopy plants" brought together landscapers, researchers, council staff, educators and garden managers from all over New Zealand (as well as one delegate from Sri Lanka!). 

Please visit the 2016 Epiphyte Workshop page to read about the event, view the presentations and see the summary of group discussions. 

Thanks to the enthusiastic participants who shared their ideas and jumped on board with many ideas for collaboration. Thanks also to our two fabulous sponsors: Auckland Botanic Gardens & the Environmental Research Institute, University of Waikato. 

And in other news, I know many of you supported the NZ Tree Project (many thanks!). You can now see the final rimu portrait and documentary (including some sweet canopy footage) on the NZ Tree Project website.

To close, here are a few photos from the workshop, more can be found on the workshop page:

    I work with NZ's native vascular epiphytes at the University of Waikato. I completed an MSc on epiphyte ecology and the shrub epiphyte Griselinia lucida and have recently published the Field Guide to NZ's Epiphytes, Vines & Mistletoes. 


    For me, the highlights of epiphyte research are the many unknowns, the amazing way that these plants survive in the canopy, and of course tree climbing!
