Northern California Botanists has created a new award in memory of the late Dean Taylor.

The aim of the Dean W. Taylor Botanical Exploration Memorial Award is to cover costs associated with botanical exploration in Northern California. This award is open to all people with an interest in the native plants and wildland ecology of Northern California, including students, practicing botanists, land managers, and dedicated herbarium collectors. We encourage projects that echo Dean Taylor’s goals of finding unknown botanical diversity in California, namely collecting in under-collected areas, work to explore the habitat and range of known taxa, and efforts to discover and define new taxa.

Applications are due October 1, 2021. For more information about this award and how to apply, please see the Northern California Botanists home page at www.norcalbotanists.org/
