Although Lewis and Clark had traveled this way previously many of their specimens had been lost. Therefore, many of the plants collected by Nuttall on this trip were unknown to science. Come and hear Mr. Theo Whitsell, Ecologist and Botanist, Department of Natural Heritage, as he shares Mr Nuttall’s Arkansas discoveries!
