Join Us for Our Annual Darwin Day Celebration: Botanizing in the Galápagos Islands with Charles Darwin
Most people associate Charles Darwin with finches, giant tortoises, and human evolution, but he was also a pretty accomplished botanist. In fact, the flora of the Galápagos Islands had just as important a role to play in formulating his theory of evolution as the more famous finches. Join us as we explore the amazing plants of the Galápagos Islands through the eyes of Charles Darwin and celebrate his 216th birthday with science and cake!
