Summer Plant ID with Dr. Sylvan Kaufman

Registration required.
Date: Tuesday August 6th
Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Pavilion, 715 Camino Lejo
Cost: $20 members/$25 non-members
This class will look closely at leaves as well as flowers in the Aster family. Improve your identification skills by looking closely at their leaves; looking at the arrangement, shape, edges, veins, and hairs can all help with identification. We will also look at lots of flowers in the Asteraceae family. Distinguishing ray and disc flowers and looking at other parts of the flower head can help id plants in this often confusing family!
Dr. Sylvan Kaufman is an Ecologist who consults, writes and teaches about ecology, botany and restoration. She is co-author of “Invasive Plants, Guide to Identification and the Impacts and Control of Common North American Species” published by Stackpole Books. She volunteers as a New Mexico Master Gardener, at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden as a docent and with the plant database, and is the Conservation Committee Chair for the Native Plant Society of New Mexico and Vice President of the Santa Fe Chapter.

Summer Seminar - Art of the Bee
2024-08-06 17:30 - 19:00 | Santa Fe Botanical Garden, 715 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM, 87505, United States
Summer Seminar – Art of the Bee
This year’s inaugural seminar will feature Professor Robert E. Page, Jr., one of the foremost honey bee geneticists in the world. The impact of bees on our world is immeasurable. As noted in the abstract of his most recent book (The Art of the Bee) “bees are responsible for the evolution of the vast array of brightly colored flowers and for engineering the niches of multitudes of plants, animals, and microbes. They’ve painted our landscapes with flowers through their pollination activities and have evolved the most complex societies to aid their exploitation of the environment.”
Dr. Page has published more than 250 research papers and articles and is the author of The Spirit of the Hive: The Mechanisms of Social Evolution, published by Harvard University Press in 2013 and The Art of the Bee: Shaping the Environment from Landscapes to Societies, published by Oxford University Press in 2020.
He is Provost Emeritus and Regents Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University, a UC Davis Distinguished Emeritus Professor and Emeritus Chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and has served as an external faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute. Professor Page was recently featured as a “legend” in the American Entomologist, the official publication of the American Entomological Society, which stated that he “is considered a pioneer in the field and one of the current top bee scientists.” A colleague stated that Page is “arguably the most influential honey bee biologist of the past 30 years.
Professor Page’s Garden Summer Seminar will be based on his book “The Art of the Bee” and will focus on four topics over three half day sessions August 7-9:

Environmental Engineers
Landscape Artists
The Social Contract
The Song of the Queen

Enrollment in the Summer Seminar is limited to 25 people and includes a copy of “The Art of the Bee,” an opening reception in the Garden on Tuesday, August 6th , and lunch on August 7th, 8th, and 9th.

2024-09-24 11:00 - 12:00 | Udall Building, 725 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM, 87505, United States
An Ecoregional Conservation Assessment for the Southern Rockies and Santa Fe Area
Dominick A. DellaSala, Ph.D.
Chief Scientist – Wild Heritage a Project of Earth Island Institute
Berkeley, CA
The southern Rockies (including the Santa Fe subregion) contain vital levels of biodiversity, including many imperiled species, that are threatened by over development, inappropriate wildfire management, and accelerated climate change. Dr. DellaSala will present an ecoregional conservation assessment that uniquely blends conservation priorities – e.g., new protected area proposals – with community wildfire protection and climate change planning, using research from both the Southern Rockies and Mogollon Highlands. His findings have relevance to how the Forest Service is managing the region from the Santa Fe National Forest to the Southern Rockies.
Dr. Dominick A. DellaSala is Chief Scientist at Wild Heritage (www.wild-heritage.org), and former President of the Society for Conservation Biology, North America Section. He is an internationally renowned author of over 300 peer-reviewed papers and nine award-winning books that deal with forests, climate change, endangered species, and speaking truth to power. Dr. DellaSala has given plenary and keynote talks at academic conferences, the United Nations (UN) Earth Summit, and numerous international climate change and biodiversity summits. He has appeared in numerous national publications (e.g., National Geographic, Time Magazine, the NY Times) and on television programs (CNN, MSNBC, NPR). He served on the White House Council task forces on forests and the Oregon’s Global Warming Commission carbon task force.
Dominick is motivated by his work to leave a living planet for his two daughters, four grandkids and all those that follow.
