Tundra Plants of Pink Mountain (Noon-Hour Lecture)

---

Tuesday, March 6, 2007

12 noon to 1pm

---

Seminar Details Pink Mountain is located just off the Alaska Highway about 150 miles north of Fort St. John. A rough road built for oil exploration some forty years ago provides access. The top of Pink Mountain holds the greatest accessible diversity of tundra plants known in BC and yet has no protection of any kind.

Ron Long is retired after 36 years as a photographer at SFU. For 15 years he photographed exclusively for the Bio-Science Department during which time he became interested in wild plants, an interest that continues to occupy him almost full time. In retirement he travels extensively in search of new wildflowers and is currently planning his fourth trip to South Africa.

Ron is an active member of the Native Plant Society of BC and the Vancouver Natural History Society. He lectures extensively about photography and wildflowers.
