Warwick Varley Australian Native Plants Society Biennial Conference 2026

Warwick Varley

Warwick has been employed in the tree industry for nearly 35 years, having worked as a climber, trainer, tree manager, consultant, and TAFE teacher. His education consisted of tertiary qualifications, including Diplomas, a bachelor's degree, and postgraduate qualifications related to arboriculture and the environment. As the principal arborist at a consultancy company that specialises in local and state government contracts, the need to identify and understand trees, particularly Eucalypts, was paramount. Warwick's primary tree interests are the genera Araucaria and Eucalyptus, for which several articles have been published in national and international journals, and include membership in the Eucalyptus Study Group as part of continuing education. His membership started in 2003, and he took on the group leader position in 2009, from which he stepped down last year to spend more time on research, writing, and his family.
