I am a forest
canopy biologist and I study a variety of organisms
that inhabit tall temperate rainforest canopies.
I have long been fascinated by the many ways
in which organisms have adapted themselves
to complex and unique habitats in both canopy
and terrestrial environments. In Patagonia
we will observe a fascinating variety of species
assemblages and habitats that have developed
in extreme and dynamic conditions. There is
nothing I would rather do than facilitate and
encourage in others interest, understanding,
and appreciation for their natural surroundings
and cohabitants. Nor can I think of a more
profound and captivating landscape than the
mountains, forests, and plateaus of Patagonia
in which to provide a context for such an experience.
I am looking forward to another year of teaching
with the Sierra Institute. I have also taught
general botany, vascular plant taxonomy, and
herpetology at Humboldt State University as
a teaching associate.
I hope that you will find Patagonia and the
Andean Cordillera to be as captivating and
enchanting for you as they are to me. I look
forward to meeting you and to sharing with
you these vast expanses, the warm hospitality
of our Argentine and Chilean co-workers, and
what this place, Patagonia, has to teach us
all. See you soon!
Sincerely,
Brett Lovelace, M.A.
