Mary DeDecker Botanical Grant Program In 2001, the Bristlecone Chapter established this grant program as a fitting tribute to a renowned local botanist and a beloved founding member of our chapter. The purpose of these grants is to honor the memory of Mary by facilitating research and projects that increase the understanding and appreciation of our region's native flora and ecosystems. The only requirement is that the project be relevant to the native plants of the northern Mojave Desert, Sierra Nevada, and Great Basin portions of eastern California. Selected researchers received up to $500 each for expenses and recipients are asked to present their findings to the Bristlecone Chapter either at a regular meeting or in an article in the newsletter. Grant proposals are requested in September with the deadline for submissions in mid-December. We have awarded grants to graduate students for research on various ecological, taxonomic and physiological aspects of our native flora. We have also funded an education program on native plants for local schools. Projects Previously Funded (2004 or earlier):
