In association with the ‘Historic Trees: Hardy Wilson and Beyond’ exhibition, a series of talks will be held at the National Trust Centre on Observatory Hill demonstrating different aspects of our natural landscape, as well as a look into the intriguing life of the artist, Mavis Turner.

With particular focus on sustainability and our unique flora, issues of environmental conservation, both the vulnerability and loss of Australian plantlife and efforts being made to save it will be addressed, as well as better planning and management of historic gardens and cultural landscapes. We are particularly honoured to be joined by the speakers below, bringing a variety of viewpoints.
