Introduction
• Corymbia calophylla is a keystonetree species in SW Western Australia
• plays a major role as a:• food source and habitat tree• refugia for vertebrates and invertebrates
incl. the endangered Carnaby’s cockatoo• key species for apiary & honey production
• suffering a major decline syndrome:• foliar pathogen Quambalaria pitereka &• canker fungal pathogen Q. coyrecup
Impetus for the Marri Canker Project
• came from members of the community who were observingdecline in their local Marri populations
• pathologists at Murdoch University were already researchingthe disease seeking answers and potential treatments
• a grass-roots driven project, considered one of the mainreasons funding was subsequently obtained to start thecollaboration
• community members provided an existing ‘network ofenthusiasm’ able to be engaged to collect the large-scaleresearch data required for scientific analysis

Since Dec 2013 the apphas helped capture:• 138 registered users• 366 observations• 335 trees in 31 sites• and over 300 images.
Discussion
The development of this innovative app has provided:• education and outreach opportunities• ongoing engagement with concerned members of the
community in both urban and rural regions• a large scale data collection approach that would otherwise
be a laborious and costly research problem• data that will be used by research scientists to understand
the decline process and find treatments with the aim ofdeveloping sustainable management solutions.
Marri Canker project – lessons learned
roles of each partner agency must be clearly defined:• project ownership, coordination, training and publicity
training helps deliver the best from volunteers in both:• project research methods and smart phone app technology
development/maintenance of a successful app requires resources:• engage with app developers to specify requirements, define functionality• ensure adequate support for the app subsequent to its release.
The Marri Canker project is now:• a model for a new 100 tree treatment trial in the Shire of Mundaring• again in conjunction with the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council.
AcknowledgementsWith thanks to the:• Cape to Cape Catchment Group• Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council• WA State Natural Resource Management Office
