- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 24 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Lisa will tell the story of “prairie turnips”—arguably the most important historical food plant of the Plains. Lisa has been monitoring populations of Pediomelum esculentum for twenty-four years. In the process, she has learned a great deal about these plants, which have edible tubers; and about the benefits and complications of long-term population monitoring; and harvest sustainability. Lisa will explain how problems with prairie turnips can inform other ethnobotanical and conservation initiatives. Lisa is researcher at the Kansas Biological Survey & Center for Ecological Research and a lecturer in KU’s Environmental Studies Program.
