SUMMARY:Botany of the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:The holidays are a time for rest\, relaxation\, family and friends. To a botanist they are also a case study of the deeply interconnected relationship between nature and culture. Join us as we share the botanical origins of some of the most ubiquitous holiday traditions\, and see just how important plants are to the spirit of the season. A reception will follow the presentation.

SUMMARY:Kodachromes of the Caribbean; The Field Photographs of Alain H. Liogier
DESCRIPTION:Join Brandy Watts as she discusses and signs her book “The Field Photographs of Alain H. Liogier: Plants of Hispaniola\, Dominican Republic\, 1968-1969” \n“This volume represents an important selection of 116 photographs from a specific window of time and place as viewed through the camera lens of one of the greatest botanists of all time. Ms. Watts has curated an impressive collection of images that not only serve to document Dr. Liogier’s research but bring to light the unique way this particular scientist saw the world of plants in their environment. As Ms. Watts states\, “Each photograph is an instant within diverging and overlapping trajectories: plant science research\, photographic technology\, plant species adaptation\, habitat transformation\, land conservation\, climate change\, a particular botanist’s research\, and an individual’s lifetime.” If you are interested in where science and fine art merge\, then this book is for you.” \nClick here for more information on the book. \nThis is a free event\, if you are planning to attend we kindly ask you to RSVP at: https://tinyurl.com/y7lmcdr9

SUMMARY:May 18th Panel Discussion: Biodiversity in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Biodiversity is undergoing tremendous change at the hands of humanity. As some habitats disappear and many wild organisms face extinction\, other species flourish in novel ecosystems. Join us for an expert panel discussion which will examine the current state of biodiversity and the narratives which shape related public opinion and policy as we ask the question: how can we successfully coexist with nature on an increasingly technological planet? \nSpace is limited so please RSVP as soon as possible at https://tinyurl.com/nxhk586 \n  \nMeet at 4PM at the Nest \nLight reception to follow the discussion. \nClick here for directions and parking instructions. \nPanelists: \nJohn Clark serves a dual role as President and Executive Director of the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) and as director of Plant Conservation at San Diego Zoo Global. John and CPC Chairman of the Board Dr. Peter Raven successfully led an initiative to relocate the CPC’s National Headquarters from St. Louis to the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Here\, John continues to lead the CPC’s national efforts to save endangered plants through scientific research\, applied conservation\, and technology innovation. While John’s training and background is in basic research\, his particular passion is for developing strong collaborations – bringing together world experts in a variety of disciplines – to achieve measurable conservation outcomes. \nDan Gluesenkamp is Executive Director of the California Native Plant Society where he works to celebrate and save California’s native plants and places. Dan earned his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley and worked as Executive Director of Calflora\, and as Director of Habitat Protection and Restoration for Audubon Canyon Ranch’s thirty preserves. He is a co-founder of Cal-IPC and of the Bay Area Early Detection Network (BAEDN)\, and in 2009 discovered a presumed-extinct manzanita growing near the Golden Gate Bridge. \nUrsula K. Heise is the Marcia H. Howard Chair in Literary Studies at the Department of English and the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA. She is a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow and former President of ASLE (Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment). Her research and teaching focus on environmental narrative and culture in the Americas\, Western Europe and Japan; literature and science; science fiction; and narrative theory. She is editor of the series Natures\, Cultures\, and the Environment with Palgrave\, co-editor of the Routledge Companion to the Environmental Humanities\, and Managing Editor of Futures of Comparative Literature. Her books include Sense of Place and Sense of Planet: The Environmental Imagination of the Global (Oxford University Press\, 2008)\, Nach der Natur: Das Artensterben und die moderne Kultur (Suhrkamp\, 2010) and Imagining Extinction: The Cultural Meanings of Endangered Species (University of Chicago Press\, 2016). She is also a co-founder of UCLA’s Lab for Environmental Narrative Strategies (LENS). \nPhil Rundel is Distinguished Professor of Biology in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA\, and Director of the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden. He received his undergraduate degree at Pomona College in Claremont\, followed by Master’s and Ph.D. degrees at Duke University. He joined UCLA in 1983 after serving as Professor of Biology at UC Irvine. His research has centered on the ecology\, biodiversity\, and conservation of plants and plant communities in the five mediterranean-climate regions of the world. This focus has led to an increasing involvement in collaborative work with government agencies and non-government organizations (NGOs) to promote public awareness of the biodiversity significance and conservation of these regions. He has also been involved with ecological research and conservation biology in tropical forest areas\, with a special emphasis on research in Costa Rica\, Hawai’i\, Thailand\, and Cambodia. He has served as a consultant to WWF on conservation issues. \n

SUMMARY:Birding at MEMBG 3/16/17 @ 8AM
DESCRIPTION:***UPDATE*** Due to construction in the patio we will meet at the Nest. The Patio entrance to the garden will be close for construction\, please use the Tiverton\, or South Gate entrances. \n  \nDuring the winter months\, the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden (MEMBG) is full of birds. A typical walk around the garden can reveal upwards of twenty species\, many of which have migrated from thousands of miles to the north to spend the winter in the garden. By May\, most of these species will have left again for their northern breeding grounds. Want to see them while they’re still here? Join the Bruin Naturalists Club and Botanical Garden staff for a guided bird walk on Thursday\, March 16th from 8am to 9:30am. We will see warblers\, sparrows\, hummingbirds\, finches\, and much more! If we’re lucky\, we may even see some passage migrants that have arrived on their spring migration from the south\, either to rest in the garden on their way north\, or to breed here for the summer.\nDue to space constraints\, we are limited to 15 participants- so if you’re interested\, RSVP to rhedley [at ] ucla.edu as soon as possible.\nWhen: 8 – 9:30am\, Thursday\, March 16th. Coffee and snacks will be served at 8am at The Patio\nWhere: The Patio – in the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden\nWhat to bring: Binoculars if you have them\, though spare sets will also be available.

SUMMARY:Insect Light Trapping Event 3/4/17 @ 7PM
DESCRIPTION:Everyone knows the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden (MEMBG) stream is the best place on campus to see turtles\, koi\, and cool riparian plants. But what else is in there? To find out please join special guest Dr. Carlos de la Rosa and the Bruin Naturalists Club as part of a survey team of MEMBG stream aquatic insects from 7-10pm on Saturday\, March 4th.\nHow you ask\, and why at night? Many insects can only be positively identified by their adult characteristics. Some aquatic insects\, however\, live the majority of their lives underwater in a juvenile state\, emerging as adults only briefly to breed\, lay eggs\, and die. Emerging adults can be hard to find\, but none can resist the allure of a good ultra violet light. If we’re lucky\, we’ll see moths\, beetles\, midges\, and mayflies. If not\, we’ll see turtles\, koi\, and cool riparian plants- at night!\nDue to space constraints\, we are limited to 15 participants- so if you’re interested\, RSVP to charlie.delarosa [at] gmail.com as soon as possible.\nWhen: 7 – 10pm\, Saturday\, March 4th\nWhere: Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden. Meet at 7pm in the Patio.\nWho: Dr. Carlos L. de la Rosa is an aquatic entomologist and director of the La Selva Biological Field Station in Puerto Viejo\, Costa Rica.
