"Alaska has its fields and streams, its mountains, snow and showers, But the fondest of my memories, were formed amongst the flowers"—so says Verna E. Pratt, author of Field Guide to Alaskan Wildflowers, commonly referred to by her friends as "Mountain Goat."
Memories indeed, and the knowledge of plant ecosystems that has, in a brief period of ten years, made her a superior field botanist and one of the most highly respected authorities on Alaskan wildflowers.
Much of her work has been in the field, leading botanical field trips to various parts of Alaska. To consolidate the knowledge that she has gained in the area of native plant identification, and maike it available to amateur botanists, she has written Field Guide to Alaskan Wildflowers.
In 1982, she founded the Alaska Native Plant Society, and served as its State President through 1988. (Alaskakrafts, Inc.)
