Spyridium in the Wilderness - Custodians of Crawford

Spyridium fontis-woodii (WWS) is the most endangered native Australian flora and fauna, listed on the Commonwealth of Australia ''Critically Endangered List'' in 2021, with only nine plants in one extant roadside left in the wild. Students at Wilderness School, Adelaide, South Australia, have been involved in germinating, propagating and translocating WWS to try and re-establish other wild populations, through their involvement with the SeedsSA program in conjunction with the South Australian Botanic Gardens. The School''s Year 9 REALISE program is pivotal in this project, and is an example of the interconnection of STEM subjects, Art, Outdoor Education and Conservation.
