Meet Circe and Muon, our canine partners in orchid conservation!
Featured in the newsletter is an exciting collaborative project with the Desert Botanical Garden, funded by a generous grant from the Biophilia Foundation. The research will focus on native orchid ecology and conservation with existing efforts to restore or enhance water resources through watershed management in Southwest ecosystems.
An exciting new element is the successful use of orchid-sniffing dogs trained to locate Spiranthes delitescens. Check out the newsletter!
