Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.

For millennia, the Chumash people have been a maritime culture, renowned for their plank canoes, *tomols*, used to navigate the Channel Islands. European colonization nearly erased the craft of tomol building, but today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are dedicated to reviving this vital knowledge for future generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy's project to build two new tomols. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on tomol craft, culture, and paddling. To donate, please specify "Tomol Project" in the message box on the donation page: https://www.tataviam.land/donation/
