This month’s speaker: Ron Long speaking on Flowers of Chile and Argentina!
Human and Natural History stories from Chile
Chile has a recorded history extending back five hundred years. Much of that time was tumultuous and has left a legacy of tales and legends.
The massive Andes Mountains have created a spectacular landscape as well as a unique natural history. Plants have evolved here that occur nowhere else on earth.
Our exploration of rare and beautiful high elevation plants will be interspersed with stories of revolution, national heroes, tragedy, volcanoes and nature.Ron Long was the sciences photographer at Simon Fraser University for thirty-six years. During that time he developed an intense interest in biology and for over fifty years he has photographed and written about native BC plants. Since retiring in 2004 he travels to nature hotspots around the world to photograph birds, animals and native wildflowers.
