Botanical Learning Center
Overview
Native plant species are now growing in the new Botanical Learning Center thanks to a
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Grant supplemented with monies from the National Park
Service "Parks as Classrooms" program, a lot of volunteer work and support from the Page
Unified School District.
The
once neglected commercial greenhouse facility
has takem shape and come to life with a new purpose thanks to NPS Education Specialist Joan Mayer
who developed the vision of refurbishing the greenhouse for the propagation of native plant species
found on the Colorado Plateau.

Glen Canyon Natural History Association will serve as the grant administrator for this project and will
be providing funding for a reference library and assisting with teacher workshops and guest lectures.
