Wildlife study and conservation resources highlighted

Are you taking or teaching a course on wildlife this quarter? With courses such as Field Ornithology and Wildlife in the Modern World offered through the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences this term, the library is featuring related books, magazines, and DVDs in our Student and Faculty display area near the magazine display shelves.

Offerings include field guides, works on wildlife habitat restoration, articles from peer-reviewed journals, wildlife gardening handbooks, and much more. In this collection, a tiny ground-dwelling bee might appear alongside a pileated woodpecker or a mighty Roosevelt elk. Visitors are encouraged to browse, using or borrowing items directly from the display.

Ari Novy of the United States Botanic Garden
to speak at Meany Hall

Students, faculty, and UW staff are encouraged to attend the 22nd Annual Elisabeth Carey Miller Memorial Lecture. Dr. Ari Novy, Director of the United States Botanic Garden, will speak on a subject we care deeply about: "A Fresh Approach to the Urban Landscape." Through his work at our national botanic garden in Washington, DC, Dr. Novy promotes awareness of the multifaceted value of trees and plants along with the importance of good stewardship of green spaces, particularly in urban areas with rapid population growth.

The lecture is at 7:00 pm Thursday, September 15, at UW's Meany Hall. Doors open at 6:30 pm, and a reception with refreshments will follow. This annual free lecture is a lasting gift to the horticultural community from the Pendleton & Elisabeth C. Miller Charitable Foundation, with support from Northwest Horticultural Society, Great Plant Picks, the Miller Garden and the Miller Library. For tickets, email info@millergarden.org.
