2012 Pennsylvania Botany Symposium
November 9-10, 2012
Powdermill Nature Reserve, Rector, PA
Please join us for the inaugural Pennsylvania Botany Symposium at
Powdermill Nature Reserve in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of western
Pennsylvania!
Several plant conservation institutions have teamed up to initiate a
biannual meeting that brings academic and amateur botanists together to
share current research in the region.
Invited speakers will cover a variety of topics, including important
recent field discoveries, early botany in North America, species
interactions in a Pennsylvania forest, lichens of Pennsylvania, recovery
of rare native plants after invasive species removal, and addressing the
shortage of botanical capacity in academia and land management agencies.
The keynote address will be given by Robert F. C. Naczi, PhD, Arthur
Cronquist Curator of North American Botany at the New York Botanical
Garden. Dr. Naczi is currently revising the Manual of Vascular Plants of
Northeastern United States and Canada, known to most botanists as
"Gleason and Cronquist."
Other speakers include Ernie Schuyler, Academy of Natural Sciences; James
Lendemer, New York Botanical Garden; Jim Bissell, Cleveland Museum of
Natural History; Susan Kalisz, University of Pittsburgh; Andrea Kramer,
Botanic Gardens International; and Joe Isaac, Civil and Environmental
Consultants.
Please join us for an informative program and opportunities to network
with fellow plant enthusiasts. For more information, visit
