Plant Conservation May 18, 2011

Like animals, many plants in once-wild places are extinct, endangered, or severely threatened by climate change, invasive species, and habitat destruction. On International Plant Conservation Day, take a stroll with Abby Hird, a researcher for BGCI U.S., to see some of the nearly 3,500 plants collected from wild places that are now growing at the Arboretum, and find out how these plants are being used for conservation and restoration efforts today.
