Shaw Nature Reserve director to visit UCPL July 7
Join us at 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 7 for a talk with Quinn Long, Director of Shaw Nature Reserve. Long’s talk, titled “Celebrating a Century of Conservation: Shaw Nature Reserve; Past, Present, & Future,” centers on the history of how the Missouri Botanical Garden acquired this rural land to provide a refuge for plant collections threatened by air pollution — and how it has become a regional leader for ecological restoration, native plant horticulture, and environmental education.
The Shaw Nature Reserve contributes to a unique visitor experience and fulfills the mission of the Garden towards global plant conservation efforts. Join us as we celebrate the past and look toward a bright future of protecting our regional biodiversity.
