Wells, Bertram Whittier, 1884-1978 |

UA 023.039 |
| Abstract: |
B. W. (Bertram Whittier) Wells (1884-1978) is most widely known for his study and preservation of North Carolina's natural
environment. Wells headed North Carolina State College's Botany and Plant Pathology Department (later the Department of Plant
Biology of North Carolina State University) from 1919 to 1949 and remained on the faculty until 1954. An early ecologist,
Wells wrote on many topics: the insect galls of plants, the effects of salt on coastal vegetation, the origins of grassy balds
in the Appalachian mountains, the plant communities of the Big Savannah of Pender County, North Carolina, and the possible
formation by meteorites of the Carolina Bays in the eastern part of the state. However, Wells' most extensive work focused
on savanna and pocosin vegetation. Wells traveled around North Carolina studying plants in their native environments. His
work reached a wider audience through public lectures and the 1932 publication of his book,
The Natural Gardens of North Carolina, reprinted in 1967 and 2002. Wells continued his advocacy and educational work during
his retirement, and his legacy lives on in the B. W. Wells Association, formed after his death in December 1978.
