Moscow Spring 2016


In just over a week, we will set off on the first US/Russia exchange trip for 2016! Ben Chu and I will journey to Moscow to explore the flora of Central Russia. In addition to viewing botanical gardens in Moscow, our hosts will take us to National Parks and Reserves to see rare and endemic plants. We will visit a variety of habitats, including coniferous forests, steppes, meadows and limestone cliffs.
We hope to learn about and discuss strategies for plant conservation both in natural settings and under cultivation in botanical gardens. We also look forward to experiencing Russian culture and meeting and reuniting with our colleagues in Russia!
