SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Saving the Wild South
DESCRIPTION:Escapades of the Early Botanists\nUNC Press author Georgann Eubanks will talk about two young botanists who explored the Blue Ridge Mountains near Blowing Rock\, North Carolina\, in 1894. What they found were two incredible wildflowers — the Yadkin River Goldenrod and Heller’s Blazing Star\, now federally endangered but carefully protected. Beyond this expedition\, these two young men would go on to become prominent experts in the field\, helping to preserve critical species still in the wild today. \nAbout our speaker\nGeorgann Eubanks has written five books for the University of North Carolina Press and is a popular speaker and Emmy-winning documentarian. \nJoin us on YouTube!\n\nLive Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nYou can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
