Carol Mortenson died September 11, 2004, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Working as a botanist for the Fish, Wildlife and Plant Resources Program of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, Carol was active in restoring and preserving native habitat. She was a strong supporter and collaborator with the University of Minnesota Extension Shoreland Education Program. She authored and co-authored many books and articles on invasive plant species and their control (see From Shore to Shore June 2004 issue), and was instrumental in developing the Northern Minnesota Botanical Society, which provides opportunities to learn about local plants and plant communities. She is already missed.
