WeConservePA Annual Meeting & Winter Lecture

Boots in the Field, Boots in the Lab: Updating the Conservation Status of Rare Plants Throughout Pennsylvania
Dr. Tanisha M. Williams
Pennsylvania’s unique geological history has given rise to impressive levels of plant diversity. Development, invasive species, and climate change threaten this diversity. The state now recognizes sixty percent of our plant species as rare, threatened, or endangered. Bucknell University partners with the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program to conserve native species and combat population declines. We use field assessments and population genomics methods to provide scientifically informed knowledge to update and revise the conservation status of rare and endangered plant species throughout Pennsylvania.
The lecture will begin at 10:30am. For those interested, the lecture will be preceded by the WeConservePA annual meeting at 10am.
Dr. Tanisha M. Williams is a Burpee Postdoctoral Fellow in Botany at Bucknell University.
