Join us at Rokeby Sunday October, 22 at 3:00 to learn about Vermont’s rare and unusual plants with VT Department of Fish and Wildlife botanist Robert Popp. From mountain top ferns to wetland sedges, Vermont has dozens of uncommon varieties. Species may be rare because they have particular habitat requirements, are subject to habitat loss, are at the edge of their range, or are vulnerable to disturbance or collection.

Mr. Popp's talk reminds us of the Robinson’s deep interest in natural history. In fact, in 1876, Rowland Evans Robinson discovered a small stand of gray (jack) pine trees, which was previously unknown in Vermont.

And while you're here, check out Yours in the Cause: Faces of Radical Abolition, a special exhibit featuring rare historic photographs, which closes on October 29th.
