“My students love this book! It's a great introduction for learning about many of the common cloud-forest plants. I will continue to include it as a required field guide with every group.”

Back in Oregon!

So i recently arrived home after 5 months of research and teaching in Ecuador.
Click here for some travel writing.

My attention is called to other things at the moment, so classes and workshops may be sparse.
In the meantime, i hope that this page can serve as a resource to links and info on various things related to plants and people!
That said, i will be leading 2 plant walks at the NW Herb Fest this year, so if you find yourself there, swing by and say 'hi.'

Happy summer,
Tobias

Gone to Ecuador!

I will be in Ecuador doing research on the pollination biology of a group of mushroom-mimicking orchids and helping to teach a neotropical ecology field course until the end of May 2010.
To follow along and read about my adventures check out my travel blog!

Saludos,
Tobias
