Applications for 2022 Dahl Fellowships open on June 21.  Fellowships are for up to $25K and they provide an opportunity for talented and deserving Australians to undertake a project related to eucalypts that is not readily fundable elsewhere. Click here to learn more.

2020 Dahl Fellow Dean Nicolle reflecting on how the Fellowship has helped him achieve his goals:

“The Dahl Fellowship Grant has allowed me to research, compile, and submit for publication a scientific peer-reviewed paper presenting the findings of my long-term taxonomic research of the semi-cryptic narrow-leaved mallees (Eucalyptus ser. Porantherae).  This work is both important and has broad implications, as the correct identification of a species, as well as a sound understanding of its features, distribution, ecology, and conservation status, is essential for the understanding and management of all ecosystems that include taxa from the series, both in the wild and when grown in cultivation.”
