the life of the previous plan, and further expansion of volunteer programs is proposed for the next 10 years.

The ANBG, including CANBR, encourages use of the collections and facilities by staff from other organisations and by individuals who are studying Australian plants. The value of the collections is enhanced through study and annotation by active qualified researchers. We maintain a Scientific Associates program, a Volunteer Botanical Training Program and provide support to amateur and professional botanists who are researching Australian and related plants.

Aims
    * Maintain an adequate staffing structure and expertise to manage the ANBG as a national institution and deliver the goals of this management plan.
    * Actively engage and support a diverse cohort of volunteers who provide high-quality services to the ANBG and CANBR through new and existing projects and programs.

Issues
    * Some staff roles are resource intensive, especially those in horticulture.
    * Ongoing supervision, recruitment and personal development are needed to maintain active service and improve the skills of the large volunteer cohort that supports the work of the ANBG and CANBR.

What we are going to do

Policy
4.6.1       Volunteers will conduct activities in accordance with the Director of National Parks Volunteer Policy.

Actions
4.6.2       Build on the existing volunteer programs and expand community involvement to consider new volunteer programs and opportunities to undertake team activities at the Gardens.

4.7       Adjacent lands

Background
The ANBG shares boundaries with the Black Mountain Nature Reserve, a reserve in Canberra Nature Park, with CSIRO and with land owned by the ACT Government (vacant road easement at the time this plan was prepared). The ANBG is situated immediately west of the Australian National University and shares an access road to the north of the site with the university's palaeomagnetic laboratory.
The ANBG's boundaries are set out in its proclamation, by reference to blocks identified on maps that existed at the time of proclamation (September 1991).
Parts of the ANBG's scientific operations are based at CANBR and the Australian National Herbarium at the CSIRO Black Mountain site.

Aim
    * Develop and maintain cooperative relationships and partnerships with neighbours and stakeholders in a manner that focuses on achieving common precinct management aims effectively and efficiently.

Issue
    * Developing and maintaining relationships and partnerships with neighbours and stakeholders can increase support for the management of the ANBG, help to manage issues of common interest and make the best use of available resources.

What we are going to do

Policy
4.7.1       The ANBG will cooperate with neighbours managing adjacent lands in matters relating to emergency management and the maintenance of boundary areas, fences and shared resources such as roads.

Action
4.7.2       Actively participate in meetings and discussions with relevant neighbours and
