Selection of Native Woody Plants for Arkansas Landscapes

Join us for a one-hour virtual panel discussion with the authors of the newly published book, Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Arkansas.  Discussion will focus on the benefits of growing native plants, the importance of increasing plant diversity in our urban landscapes, and how to select plants that will perform well in certain environmental conditions. Panelists will also recommend some native plants they would like to see planted more often in home and urban landscapes.

Moderator: John Scott, Urban Forester, City of Fayetteville

Panelists: Jennifer Ogle, Herbarium Collections Manager, University of AR and Theo Witsell, Chief of Research and Inventory, AR Natural Heritage Commission
