  • Guest Lecture: Rare Plant Conservation in the Context of Restoration
    Date: March 7, 2026

    Time: 3:50 PM

    Speaker: James Lange, Research Botanist

    Description:
    Southern Florida supports a rich assemblage of rare and endemic plant species increasingly threatened by habitat loss, altered hydrology, invasive species, and climate change. Restoration initiatives—from pine rockland and coastal dune management to Everglades hydrologic restoration—offer opportunities to safeguard these imperiled plants. This presentation will highlight case studies from Fairchild’s Conservation Program, emphasizing targeted conservation strategies, challenges, and successes, and the importance of integrating species‑specific needs into broader ecosystem restoration work.
