Introduction
Earlier this
year, on February 10, 2005, George W. Douglas died. A BEN article in March
commemorated George W. Douglas for his contributions to botany in
George W.
Douglas was indeed a prolific author. He started publishing in the early 1970's
upon completion of his M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses on subalpine and alpine plant
communities. In the 1970's alone he produced 29 publications for journals and
papers for government. In the 1980's he kept up his momentum and continued to
produce many articles and government documents. He also edited and contributed
to an attractive and informative coffee table book on Kluane Park, Yukon called
"Kluane, Pinnacle of the Yukon"
(Theberge and Douglas Eds. 1980). His work in the
In the 1990's,
however, his focus shifted, and he began to spend more time documenting the
flora of
In the new
millennium, George retired from the CDC and started consulting. In his new
capacity as a consultant to government, he became active in many projects
producing many reports. In the last two years, he worked on numerous status
reports, four recovery strategies for species at risk and one multi-species
recovery strategy. Sadly, his life and work were cut short by a terminal
illness. He has, however, left us a truly inspiring legacy of getting the work
done and making it accessible. His contributions are used often by many in
