2024-2025 Field season
By Peter Harrison, TPT Newsletter Editor
What a bumper field season it has been! The Threatened Plants Tasmania held a total of nine field trips over the 2024-2025 season, with volunteers contributing important population census information that supports the on-going management for many of Tasmania’s threatened plants. Many thanks to all the volunteers for their valuable help and continued support to protect Tasmania’s iconic flora. Some highlights from this year include: the third highest number of sagg spider orchids recorded since the annual survey first begun; the discovery of a new population of Pterostylis commutata and Prasophyllum incorrectum; new discoveries of the Milford leek
orchid; and the highest number of the crowed leek orchid seen at Surry Hills in the past three years, which was topped off by the discovery of new tiny midge-orchid and short bentgrass populations.
The 2025-2026 field season is shaping up to be another amazing year and we look forward to seeing you all on the trips.
