Margaret is a retired primary school principal. Since coming to live in the Anglesea district she has worked on a wide variety of environmental issues, and has developed a keen interest in the local flora and fauna.
In January 2011 Margaret MacDonald was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours List for service to the conservation of Australian Native Orchids.
Margaret knows the Anglesea district well, and has long been interested in the orchids of the area. As season follows season she spends a great deal of time exploring orchid habitat, making observations and taking photographs. Her concern about the reduction of orchid habitat and the fact that many of the orchids are therefore becoming rarer and even facing extinction, has led to the production of this book.
This 4th Edition is a complete rework of the previous three editions that were a collaboration between Margaret MacDonald and Everett Foster.
Margret MacDonald and Everett Foster
Everett was actively involved in Australian native orchids and their conservation for 30 years. He also had some involvement with the ongoing taxonomic research into native orchids.
In June 2007 Everett Foster was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for service to the conservation of Australian Native Orchids.
MERCHANDISEANOS Geelong members Everett Foster OAM and Margaret MacDonald have compiled a field guide on the "Orchids of the Anglesea District". |
 Orchids of the Anglesea District
Orchids of the Anglesea District - Fourth EditionThis is the 4th edition of this popular Field Guide which has been completely revised by Margaret MacDonald. This book details all known native orchids of the Anglesea district, with a colour photograph, name derivation, description, flowering time, local habitat and local conservation status. It has a complete new format. The author hopes it will encourage visitors to Anglesea, as well as orchid enthusiasts, to support efforts to preserve areas where orchids are found. All funds from the sale of this book are channelled back into conservation within the area. Price: A$30.00 Postage & Packing within Australia: A$10.00 |
