In 2022, the Jurassic Garden was awarded a Botanic Gardens Conservation International/ArbNet grant to undertake a year-long survey of Myrtle Beech (Nothofagus cunninghamii) trees on South Bruny Island, Tasmania. The focus of the project is to assess if trees are affected by myrtle wilt and to also collect samples to determine if there are genetic differences between the Bruny Island trees and those elsewhere in Tasmania and in Victoria. We are working in partnership on this project with Kew Gardens (Wakehurst) UK, who lead the Global Conservation Consortium for Nothofagus project. This has become a pilot project for similar analysis of Nothofagus trees around the world, which will be overseen by the Global Conservation Consortium (Nothofagus).

Over the course of this year, Inala's intrepid volunteer Survey Team have spent a number of days conducting surveys of the Nothofagus cunninghamii population on South Bruny Island and inputting the data into a global database managed by Kew (Wakehurst)/Global Conservation Consortium (Nothofagus) for the purposes of protecting Nothofagus species.
