California Botanical Society Centennial Celebration


Mark your calendar for this landmark event:

The California Botanical Society will be celebrating one hundred years of Western North American botany this spring at its Centennial Celebration: Botanical Frontiers: Past and Future, April 12 - 14, 2013. Join us in Berkeley, California for the Centennial Symposium, social events, field trips, and the 24th annual Graduate Student Symposium.

To celebrate the Centennial, the California Botanical Society is bringing together a panel of eight distinguished speakers to remind us of our botanical heritage and to address the challenges ahead. The symposium speakers will present the most up-to-date understanding of topics including vegetation dynamics and management; evolution and historical biogeography; plant genetics and conservation; biology, impacts, and control of invasive species; and impacts of changing climate and fire regimes. Sunday's Graduate Student Symposium will showcase the research of tomorrow's leaders.
