Nature Talks (Osoyoos Desert Centre)

Drought Resistance in the Plants of the South Okanagan – Sunday August 31st

With just 12 inches of rain annually, the South Okanagan antelope brush habitat is a difficult place to live as a plant. Extreme heat and minimal precipitation have forced the native plant species to adapt in many different ways. ODC Conservation guide Ripley Shubert is currently pursuing a Bachelors of science in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation biology from the University of British Columbia. He will discuss the ways in which the native plants of the area have adapted to their environment on both the individual and ecosystem level.
