SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: “This Pea-vine Country”: Rediscovering “Wild Peavine” Paradise in a Parking Lot
DESCRIPTION:Bryan England\, Preserve Manager\, Annie Louise Wilkerson MD Nature Preserve Park\, City of Raleigh Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department \nHistorical accounts depict a time when central North Carolina was a land of “vast prairies\, with pea-vine grass\,” back “when everybody thought this pea-vine country was a sort of new Garden of Eden.” But a short time later they wrote that the wild peavine had “utterly disappeared” from the Carolina Piedmont.  What was this paradise plant?  Could the historic wild peavine landscape reappear at Wilkerson Nature Preserve and other places in North Carolina?  Join us for a talk about ecological history and to see how it is never too late to give peas a chance. \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.
