In a webinar in February 2021, Dr. Murphy Westwood of the Morton Arboretum discussed the economic, ecological, and cultural value of oaks (Quercus). Also, she explains the threats each species faces and the conservation efforts/initiatives underway to prevent their extinction, such as the Global Conservation Consortium for Oak.
Botanic Gardens Conservation International’s work aims to promote and develop a more efficient, cost effective and rational approach to plant conservation in botanic gardens. We will do this by leading and advocating, leading innovative and strategic projects, building plant conservation capacity, and providing funding.
