Join us in this class for a humorous look back over his 40 years of work in North and West Texas that led to the writing of Range Plants of North Central Texas. This Country-Boy Botanist will show photos of his travels and talk about how the book came to be. You can purchase a signed copy of the book in the class, but it is also available for sale online through BRIT press at Range Plants of North Central Texas – Shop BRIT (shopbritpress.org).
