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
Both authors are members of the Australasian Native Orchid Society. They know the Anglesea district well, and have long been interested in the orchids of the area. As season follows season they spend a great deal of time exploring orchid habitat, making observations and taking photographs. Their 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 their book.
MERCHANDISEANOS Geelong members Everett Foster OAM and Margaret MacDonald have compiled a field guide on the "Orchids of the Anglesea District". |
