Saving The Dwarf Mountain Pine
Episode 52026
Monday, 15 June, 2026
The only place in the world that the dwarf mountain pine (pherosphaera fitzgeraldii) is found is in the Upper Blue Mountains of NSW. Unfortunately, it is listed as critically endangered which is only one step away from extinction. Presenter Nick Franklin interviewed Liam Ramage, the Threatened Species Officer for the Blue Mountains Conservation Society, about the dwarf mountain pine for Rights, Rorts and Rants 29 May '26 show. Liam described the small pine and how it is threatened by development and water run off and what we can do to save it from extinction.The interview was first broadcast on Rights, Rorts and Rants on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1 FM on 29 May 2026 by Blue Mountains Unions & Community (BMUC) and presented by Nick Franklin & Peter Lammiman.
