Grand Canyon:

Connecting Plants and People from Past to Present






Wednesday, June 9, 2010

6-8 pm with refreshments at 5:30

Flagstaff Arboretum (3.8 miles down Woody Mt. Rd)


Join presenters, Wendy Hodgson, Research Botanist at the Desert Botanical Garden and Lori Makarick, Vegetation Program Manager for the Grand Canyon National Park as they take you on a botanical journey of a lifetime! They will provide an overview of Grand Canyon National Park's amazing plant diversity, hoping to unravel some of the many mysteries of the canyon's plant life.


Discover how early botanists continue to influence our current day research and knowledge. Explore some important on-going projects, including the Kolb Studio exhibit and botanical bonanza. Be aware- you may look at the canyon differently after hearing this talk!


Refreshments served at 5:30 in the lovely outside patio area of the Arboretum. Free and open to the public. For more information visit http://www.grandcanyontrust.org/ or call 928-774-7488.

Hope to see you there!
