Participants of a guided plant walk at ‘The Nook’, or Moyston Flora Reserve, have learnt about plant species, especially indigenous orchids that live in the area.
Project Platypus Upper Wimmera Landcare facilitator Andrea Mitchell organised the walk and talk presented by Black Range Landcare members and guides Neil and Wendy Marriott.
The Nook, managed by Parks Victoria near Moyston, covers 132 hectares.
“The Nook is one of the richest reserves in the region for orchids, with many thousands of Wax-lip Orchids Glossodia major, Spider Orchids Caladenia, Donkey Orchids Diuris pardina, Wallflower Orchids Diuris orientis and many, many more every winter-spring,” Mr Marriott said.
