Need a speaker for your company, organization, or club? We have many multimedia programs to offer, including,
Botanical Time Bombs: A Historical Look at the Accidental and Intentional Introduction of Indiana's Invasive Plants — You may know many of the 126 plants legally recognized as invasive in Indiana, but do you know the history of their arrival? In this program, we take a historical journey from European settlement to the present day, tracing how these species found their way to the United States. The program reflects upon the historical factors that contributed to their arrival and examines the lessons learned and unlearned.
Where the Buffalo Roamed, the Plants and Ecology of Indiana’s Prairies — Although Indiana’s prairies historically comprised a relatively small portion of the Hoosier landscape, their beauty, diversity, and character have captivated us for centuries. This program explores the flora, fauna, history, and ecological significance of our majestic tallgrass prairies.
