In the 30‘s two botanists took an excursion through the Grand Canyon on the Colorado in wooden boats to collect samples of plants. They were the first to try to chart the botanical ecology of this unusual area, where desert meets water and extreme weather makes the cliff faces constantly change.

The author included so much history of the times, and the societal misogyny that meant most press attention focused on their gender instead of science.

Soubhiville Being among the first to make it all the way through the canyon, Lois Jotter was able to tell ecologists how the canyon changed after the Colorado was dammed and helped influence policy to protect unique ecosystems there. 3mo
