Jan Busco, Horticulturist
Thursday, May 5, 2011 7:00 pm at the Cline Library

Tiny sentry milk-vetch (Astragalus cremnophylax var. cremnophylax), is considered the most endangered plant species in Arizona. This bright botanical jewel occurs only in distinctive soils on limestone outcrops on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
Horticulturist Jan Busco, who received her master of science in Forestry from Northern Arizona University in 2001, will share the story of this delightful plant, the dedicated people who have worked over the years to preserve and study it and recent actions by park scientists to put this species back on the road to recovery.

Conversations on the Edge lectures are sponsored by Grand Canyon Association, Grand Canyon National Park, and Cline Library NAU,

All Lectures Are Free and Open to the Public
Flagstaff lectures will be held at Cline Library, at the intersection of Knoles Drive and McCreary Road on the NAU campus. Parking is available to the west of the library (Lot P13 on Riordan Road).
