The Jim Jokerst
Field Botany Award poster
Each spring the Friends of The Chico State Herbarium
at California State University Chico offers an award to support
and encourage student research at Chico State involving field aspects of botany,
and ecology with a strong botanical component. This award is named in memory of Jim
Jokerst, a graduate of CSU Chico, an excellent field botanist
and a well known and highly respected botanist in the northern California
botanical community. Jim was also an active user and supporter of
The Chico State Herbarium when he was a student at CSU Chico
and a botanical consultant in the Chico area (later to be highly
regarded at a Sacramento consulting firm). This award is in the
amount of $1000
and has been awarded to deserving graduate and undergraduate students
annually since 1995.
