B. W. Wells: Pioneer Ecologist

On view Monday, March 12, 2007 to Wednesday, April 25, 2007

Bertram Whittier Wells arrived in North Carolina in 1919 to head the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology (known today as the Department of Plant Biology) at North Carolina State College. Inspired by a glimpse of the colorful mosaic of flowering plants at the Big Savannah in Pender County, he set out on a mission to understand and document the native plants of North Carolina and how they interact with and are influenced by their environment.
