The weather is warming up and we are very excited to welcome Stephen Hopper to Margaret River for our next Sundowner!

Join Nature Conservation Margaret River Region and the Undalup Association to find out why where we live is LIKE NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH - another special evening as part of Nature Conservation Margaret River Region's Sundowner Series. We'll hear from renowned botanist and conservation biologist, PROFESSOR STEPHEN HOPPER as he shares his observations of rare plants on the Leeuwin Naturaliste ridge and what their future holds.

Stephen brings 50 years experience observing the unique endemism of our region, is a maverick in his field having developed new theory on the evolution and conservation of biodiversity on the world’s oldest landscapes. He has held positions as the Kings Park and Botanic Garden Director, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in London (a World Heritage site) and was employed as Western Australia’s first Flora Conservation Research Officer in 1977. He visits us from his current position in Albany at UWA's Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management where his focus is on the evolution, ecology, conservation and indigenous knowledge systems of temperate global biodiversity hotspots.

We hope you can join us for light supper and a drink while Stephen shares his unique insight and love for the flora of the Margaret River region, with audience QandA.
