The Morgan Initiative
.
We've worked hard to publish Randy's thoughts on the taxonomy of the involucarium subsection of the genus Trifolium. Check out the introduction here, and learn how you can get involved with the genus revision.
The Norris Center
The Morgan Initiative is a major focus of the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History at UC Santa Cruz. Consistent with Morgan’s passion, the Norris Center aims to train new generations of naturalists, researchers, and conservationists. Since 2002, the Norris Center has housed Morgan’s plant and insect collections, field notes, and maps. Our ongoing goals include specimen identifications, digitizing Morgan's collection and observational data, training students and researchers in collections stewardship and field survey methods, and promoting education and conservation of local species and ecosystems.
Current and Ongoing Projects
In Randy's Words
“Just think how we could/should be training whole cohorts of students to the urgently needed work of discovery, documentation, and one would hope, salvation of all that beautiful life God made for us.”
