The Ringwood Field Naturalists Club Inc. invites you to attend the SEANA Spring Get together, 25-27 October, in Marysville, about 100km or 1.5 – 2.0 hours from Melbourne.
Mountain Ash forests surround Marysville with fern gullies and waterfalls like Steavenson Falls. Located nearby is Lake Mountain as well as the Cathedral Ranges and, being springtime, we are hoping many flowering plants will be on display. The Marysville Community Centre will be the main venue.
