Do you think plants just passively accept their role as the base of the food web?  Think again!  At the West Georgia Chapter’s February 17 meeting, Dr. Melanie DeVore will speak on “Native Plants that Fight Back.”  Join us as we learn how some of our favorite native plants arm themselves and wage active warfare against herbivores.

Dr. DeVore is a professor in the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, as well as a member of the GNPS State Board of Directors.  Her last presentation to our chapter was in 2023 when she spoke on “Top 10 Native Grasses for Georgia Landscapes.”
