Human Threats to Native Plants: Tipping the Balance Back

February 26, 2023 @ 1:00 pm

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is pleased to host the annual Jean Andrews Speaker Series on February 26th, 2023 to promote conservation and botanical education to the public. This free event brings together nearly 200 science enthusiasts from the greater Austin area to learn about local conservation and science efforts, and is divided into 2 parts; a “science open house” from 1:00-2:00pm and a public science talk from 2:00-3:00pm.

This year’s event features Dr. Jen Lau, restoration ecologist with Indiana University. Her talk, Human Threats to Native Plants: Tipping the Balance Back, will be an all-ages introduction to native plant conservation and using knowledge of evolution and adaptation to spur effective restoration. You can find the poster attached.

Registration required at sciencefest.utexas.edu.

This is an in-person lecture.
