Zoom Presentation: The Flora of New Zealand
Presenters: Virginia Bowers and Paul Slichter
Virginia Bowers is an amateur plant geek and retired property coordinator for the Bureau of Environmental Services. Paul Slichter is a retired biology teacher and a member of NPSO, the Washington Native Plant Society, Bird Alliance of Oregon, and Vancouver Audubon Society.
We are in for a mid-winter treat as Paul and Virginia share photos from their separate trips to New Zealand.
Virginia will discuss some of the more distinctive native plants along with scientific explanations for their characteristics. In addition, she will focus on New Zealand plants that were (and still are) used by the Maori for food, medicine, basketry, and building.
Paul and Susan Saul take us on an all too brief look at the New Zealand flora of the Kauri and podocarp forests of the North Island to the subalpine and alpine and tussock grassland floras of both islands.
Experience the botanical wonders of New Zealand in this colorful and lively presentation. Register today!
