With great sadness we note the recent passing of Dr. Larry E. Morse,
former chief botanist at NatureServe and a legend in plant conservation.
After earning his Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University in 1979, Larry
immediately started a nearly 30-year career in plant conservation, first
with the Maryland Natural Heritage Program. In 1981 he was hired as one of
the original natural heritage scientists at The Nature Conservancy (TNC),
becoming TNC's Chief Botanist, and continuing his career at NatureServe
until his retirement in 2006.
