Dr. Tim Block (at left), The John J. Willaman Director of Botany at the Morris Arboretum, will present the Lukens Endowed Lecture on Informing Land Preservation through Science: The Botany Department of the Morris Arboretum on Sunday, January 26 at 2 p.m. at the Arboretum.
The reasons for preserving land range from biodiversity protection to tax benefits. Whatever the reason, most people agree that land preservation is a good idea. For many years, the Arboretum’s botany department has been actively engaged in science-based studies that help inform decision makers on issues concerning conservation and land protection. In this talk, discussion will include the importance of land protection, the public perception of preserved land and the history of the Arboretum’s involvement in helping shape conservation priorities in Pennsylvania and beyond.
The lecture will be followed by a reception. This is free with admission, but reservations are required and space is limited. To register: www.morrisarboretum.org or call (215) 247-5777 ext. 156.
