We conduct research and generate publications relating to the flora, plant communities, ecological processes and plant conservation concerns of the southern Cumberland Plateau region.​

We work to increase plant awareness within the student body and Sewanee community by providing public outreach programs related to field botany for Sewanee and surrounding communities.​
