Celebrate the groundbreaking achievements of Elzada Clover. Dr. Elzada Clover contained multitudes; she was a brazen botanist, the first female University of Michigan botany professor, the first female Matthaei Botanical Gardens curator, the first scientist to document the flora of the remote Grand Canyon, and along with her graduate assistant Lois Jotter, they were first non-native woman to raft the entire length of the Colorado. This exhibit explores her remarkable journey and enduring contributions.
