The Australian grass tree (Xanthorrhoea australis) has also been used in the club's branding, including a 1965 car sticker that was sold at field naturalist camps across Australia.
FNCV members assisted in the club formation and have continued to support and work closely with the Latrobe Valley FNC since then.
[15][1] Club members Ellen Lyndon and Jim Peterson lobbied the National Parks Authority and Land Conservation Council to conserve Morwell National Park, which was a tree orchard in Yinnar South in the 1950s, due to the unique plant and animal life that lived in it, including the rare butterfly orchid (Sarcochilus australis), identified by club members Eulalie and Os Brewster.

In 1986 the club received official thanks from the General Manager of the Victorian Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands, complementing the quality and significance of the magazine.
