"Come on an immersive journey into the Australian Alps. Join First Nations storyteller Shane Herrington and key mountain ecologists, practitioners, advocates and scientists - Alec Costin, Ken Green, Walter Jehne, Gen Wright, Jenny Whinam, Richard Swain and others, to tell their shared story of caring for Country and mountain ecology. Their continuous commitment to regeneration of Country is a result of shared understanding of the natural, balanced regulation of soil, water, biodiversity, landscape and climate.

The story engages passionate ecologists, their voices clearly describing the miniature and greater vision for conservation and regeneration of the mountains. This story surrounds the audience with the sounds, sights and feelings of the Australian high country, building the community of millions of Australians who love the mountains.” - Liquid Heart.

A symposium was recently held at the University of Tasmania to honour Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick. The event drew around 150 registrations and featured a diverse range of speakers sharing alpine research and reflecting on Jamie’s many contributions to projects and the field of alpine science. Though not a typical symposium, many talks were filled with humour and warmth, celebrating both the life and lasting legacy of Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick.
