EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN THE SEMINAR
Environmental Policy RoundtableFriday, October 28, 2010
Room 1113 Van Munching Hall, 12:15 - 1:30pm
This week the Environmental Economics Student Group will be hosting Dr. Anne Frances, Lead Botanist at Natureserve. Her diverse interests and experiences with native plant conservation, ethnobotany, and restoration ecology help her in coordinating Natureserve's efforts to protect rare plants and their ecosystems. Dr. Frances also uses the Natureserve Climate Change Vulnerability Index to assess plant species for susceptibility to climate change to help inform conservation decisions. Dr. Frances has received a BS in Biology from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, a MS from Florida International University, and a PhD from the University of Florida. Dr. Frances has worked in Costa Rica, Botanical Gardens, and the US Forest Service.
