Strategic Plan 2018 - 2023

It all begin with an idea in 2015 which led to planning a Society which will last into the future, bringing members along and prepare the way for future generations of native flora lovers.

Over that time Nine Goals were prepared, actions worked on and outcomes achieved. As we wind up this plan we are again thinking to the future - what do you want the future of APST to be? Contact us here.
