Media Release - Narrogin Regional Herbarium Returns to the Public Spotlight
The Narrogin Regional Herbarium, a treasure trove of botanical knowledge, is once again open to the public. Located at the Narrogin & Dryandra Visitors Centre, within the newly refurbished Railway Station, this valuable resource promises to be a source of fascination and education for all.
This reopening is the culmination of dedicated efforts by various organisations and individuals. The herbarium, which had been housed at the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions (DBCA) for many years, was recently gifted to the Shire of Narrogin. Shire President Leigh Ballard in acknowledging the donation, stated “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the former members of the Central South Naturalist Club and to Greg Durrell, Regional Manager of DBCA, for facilitating this significant opportunity to bring the herbarium back into the public domain”.
