We were pleased to have both Oklahoma Master Naturalists and Oklahoma Native Plant Society members with us on our 2018 tour retracing Nuttall’s path from Fort Smith through the Poteau River valley. Now Master Naturalist Robert Theimer has published an account of our trip on the Oklahoma Master Naturalist website.

Thank you to Robert for helping share the potential value of Nuttall’s journal with the Master Naturalists and to spread awareness of the upcoming bicentennial of Nuttall’s 1819 journey through Oklahoma and Arkansas.

We look forward to working with Master Naturalists as we plan future Thomas Nuttall explorations and commemorations in the bicentennial year of his trip.
