March 2010
10	Monthly general meeting Speaker: Ron Long Topic: The Botanical Treasures of Pink Mountain To say that Pink Mountain is unique is a major understatement. In over forty years of plant hunting in Western Canada I have found no other place that is even remotely as rewarding for the plant lover. Pink Mountain is not very high as mountains go but its location in the far north of BC creates a tundra habitat on its summit. On that one mountaintop I have found almost every arctic plant that occurs in northern Canada. Not only are all these species concentrated in a relatively small area they are accessible by road. Tundra plants have long been my personal favorite group. They thrive in one of the most difficult environments in North America and the adaptations they have made that allow them to survive make them endlessly fascinating. This illustrated talk will describe the environmental challenges the plants face and the stories of how they meet those challenges.
