Record gift to chicagobotanic garden a boon for plant science, conservation, training
The Negaunee Foundation, a Northbrook-based organization that has supported cultural institutions such as Ravinia, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and The Field Museum, recently donated $21 million to the Chicago Botanic Garden at 1000 Lake-Cook Road in Glencoe.
The gift will fund a new position -- a director of conservation impact -- and expand the garden's Stewardship and Ecology of Natural Areas internship program that trains people interested in land-management careers. It will help build the Negaunee Institute -- from the inside. Alula collections were so inbred, Havens said, that the plant was unable to reproduce. Work in laboratories now has restored the plant's fertility.
"It is recovering, and it's a really rewarding thing to watch," Havens said.
