GCA: Catherine H. Beattie Fellowship in Conservation Horticulture

The Beattie Fellowship, named to honor Catherine H. Beattie, a past GCA president and an advocate for wildflower preservation, provides an annual research grant up to $4,500. This grant supports work at a botanical garden, benefiting both the Center for Plant Conservation's agenda and the grantee's academic pursuits. Its primary goal is to foster the conservation of rare and endangered flora in the United States, aligning with the efforts of the Center for Plant Conservation in Escondido, California.
