About the Event
The Australian Tropical Herbarium and the Wet Tropics Management Authority are pleased to present our annual Rainforest Plant Identification Workshops. Now in their sixteenth year, our workshops have been developed for all plant enthusiasts. We will show you how to examine and identify rainforest plants using freely available resources.
In 2026, the workshops will be held at JCU's Nguma-bada Campus, in Smithfield Cairns, and at the Daintree Rainforest Observatory in Cape Tribulation.
The price of the course includes:
- Morning tea and lunch.
- Participant's workbook.
- Hand lens.
As these workshops entail some low-risk outdoor activities, you must provide acknowledgment of these risks and details of persons to be contacted in the event of an emergency at the commencement of the workshop. Walking tracks are not wheelchair-accessible. You will be expected to wear clothing and shoes suited to the conditions, and provide your own sunscreen, insect repellent, hat and drinking water.
Some computer literacy is required to participate in these workshops.
