AVONDALE ESTATE FAUNA AND FLORA CATALOGUE GROWING
An Avondale College alumnus has self-published the first volume of a catalogue of the native fauna and flora on the Avondale Estate. Dr Terry Annable, a former lecturer in the Faculty of Science and Mathematics, has so far identified 420 species. The first volume of The Avondale Walking Tracks, which covers Sandy Creek Walk, is now in Avondale Library. The second volume will cover the new Girls Walk. The catalogues will help establish baselines from which to measure environmental changes. "We have such a variety of ecological communities on campus," says Terry, "so we need to not only keep it that way, but also to improve and restore biodiversity where appropriate."
CORRECTION
Dr Bryan Ball's The Seventh-day Men: Sabbatarians and Sabbatarianism in England and Wales, 1600-1800 (Connections Vol 23 No 3) is available for loan from Avondale Library, not the Ellen G White Seventh-day Adventist Research Centre.
