SUMMARY:Chel Anderson - Northwoods Orchids: their complex and sometimes mysterious lives
DESCRIPTION:Chel Anderson has lived\, worked\, and strenuously exercised her curiosity in Cook County since 1974. Before retiring to the rest of her life in 2019\, she spent the last 21 years of her career as a lead plant ecologist and botanist with the Minnesota Biological Survey. Chel is coauthor with Adelheid Fischer of North Shore: A Natural History of Minnesota’s Superior Coast published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2015.   \nCook County Minnesota is home to 32 species of orchids. Some are flashy\, well-known “celebrities”\, others are diminutive\, cryptic and unknown to most of us. At home in a wide variety of habitats and plant communities \, orchids live in complex and surprising relationships with other lives there. Chel’s presentation will delve into this captivating family of plants and their fascinating lives. \n  \nThis presentation will be held at the Chik-Wauk Nature Center.\nAll presentations are family-friendly and free to the public.\nDonations are always appreciated. Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail National Scenic Byway! \nPresentations are sponsored by Visit Cook County and the GTHS Gift Club! \n
