TERRESTRIAL STUDY GROUPThe Terrestrial Study Group meet once a month, usually on the third weekend following the monthly meeting. Trips to search for orchids in the wild are organised within the state of Victoria and occasionally interstate. These expeditions may be for one day, a weekend or sometimes longer. All members are welcome to join these trips. Members get the opportunity to walk in the bush, see and photograph orchids in their natural environment, while enjoying the social companionship of fellow orchid lovers. For complete details about meeting places and times please refer to the monthly Bulletin prior to the event. The Bulletin is posted or e-mailed to members each month prior to the monthly meeting. Any members wishing to attend Terrestrial Study Group activities must register with the organiser to assist with the management of the event. This also enables members to be contacted in the case of last minute changes to the activity. |
