Link to Canberra Nature Map
The Canberra Spider Orchid, Caladenia actensis, an endangered plant endemic to the ACT, was the inspiration for the creation of Canberra Nature Map (CNM) and its logo. When Aaron Clausen accidentally encountered these beautiful orchids he began a search to find out more about them and how to ensure their continued survival and in so doing formed a website development project that has gone on to host a map of the location of these and all Canberra species using mobile phone cameras and GPS technology.
