The Value and Mystery of Rivercane

Join biologist and geographer Dr. Adam Griffith, former director of the Rivercane Restoration Program (2008-2014) as he discusses the rich history and current state of rivercane, one of the few types of bamboo native to North America. Dr. Griffith currently works at the EBCI Cooperative Extension and coordinates with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians on rivercane restoration initiatives. This talk complements the new exhibition at the campus museum, Rivercane Renaissance, on loan from Western Carolina University. This event is in Ferguson Health Sciences Room 306, and is free and open to the public.
