"The ones that got away" a presentation about invasive species in Tasmania.
Secretary's Report presented at AGM 4th. March 2021
2020 has been a year like no other in the club’s history. We no sooner held our AGM and elected Annabel Carle as the new President than the Covid 19 virus struck and everyone was placed into lockdown.
General meetings came to a halt with the closure of UTAS however the committee continued to look after the club’s affairs via Zoom video link. We are very thankful for Deirdre Brown’s expertise with the website and The Bulletin which keeps everyone up to date with the ever changing situation.
With the gradual easing of restrictions excursions recommenced in July and 29 members took the opportunity for a walk along the Pipeline Track at Neika. The visit to the Marion Bay wetlands in October was attended by 38 members and in November 28 people visited Growling Swallet in the Florentine Valley. General meetings recommenced in October at Mathers House in central Hobart.
The club funded the reprint of 1000 copies of A Field Guide to Tasmanian Fungi by David Ratkowsky and Genevieve Gates but as the entire stock sold out in six months we have now printed another 1000 copies of the book.
In order to support local wildlife charities the club made donations of $500 each to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Raptor Refuge and the Tasmanian Land Conservancy (toward the purchase of land at Tinderbox Hills). A donation of $500 was also made to the Biodiversity Heritage Library in Victoria who have scanned copies of The Naturalist and the club newsletters and made them freely available on line.
After granting a Life membership of Janet Fenton in March we were finally able to present her with a certificate at the October meeting. Tonight we are pleased to present a Life Membership certificate to Genevieve Gates for her long and continuous service to the club.
Mick Brown and his helpers have published another excellent edition of The Naturalist. Mick has now handed the reins to Sabine Borgis and we thank him for his work over the past five years.
We also thank Annabel Carle, Anna McEldowney and committee members for their sterling efforts to keep the club functioning in these uncertain times and look forward to another successful year.
Margaret Warren, Secretary
