History

edit

Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research (ARI) was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 8 April 1970 as part of the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the Victorian state government. The foundation Director was Alfred Dunbavin Butcher, who also had an association with Melbourne Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary. He had a keen interest in art and this attracted a large collection of wildlife art and the commissioning of a large mural at the institute. The institute was subsequently incorporated into various Victorian Government Departments since then including the Ministry for Conservation, the Department of Conservation Forests and Lands, the Department of Sustainability and Environment; and is currently (2017) in the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning.

Publications
