Willard's Wonderings: How Scientists are Using Genetics to Protect Ramps

Willard's Wonderings & Watauga Wanderings is a special program series hosted by BRAHM's Programs & Outreach Director Willard Watson III. This session focuses on Dr. Estep's research on ramps (wild leeks), which provides the first preliminary genetic evidence supporting the recognition of narrow-leaf ramps as a second taxon. The research establishes foundational genetic tools for understanding ramp taxonomy and informs conservation strategies for this increasingly exploited forest species.
