Western North America is blessed with abundant areas of alpine. The plants that make their home above treeline area distinctive and spectacular bunch. It's a difficult place to live, but our alpine plants have evolved ingenious ways of coping with this challenging environment. In this presentation Andy Mackinnon will show us some of these adaptations to alpine life, illustrated with BC examples.
