Meeting: The Willard and Pat Walker Community Room

The history of plant evolution comes to life in this introduction to paleobotany with Eric Fuselier.

Join Eric Fuselier as he brings the history of plant evolution to life with this introduction to paleobotany. Learn how plants have evolved on land since the first algae appeared over 750 million years ago. In addition to this presentation, participants will see real fossil specimens from the Eric’s private collection, showcasing many of the species and geological time periods discussed in this presentation.

 

Eric Fuselier, PWS is an Environmental Scientist at Olsson, where he works with civil engineers and landscape architects to minimize the environmental impact from the infrastructure projects they design. A self-described “plant geek”, Eric is an active member of the Arkansas Native Plant Society, and serves on the national board for "Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes", a volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to promoting environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities. In his spare time, Eric enjoys reading about plant evolution and paleobotany, and is an avid collector of plant fossils.
