W. Carver, skilled in genetics, horticulture, and chemistry, improving the hydrocarbon yield from one or several oil-producing species identified in this work for use in lubricating machinery or producing an alternative fuel base. In other words this area of focus refers to the sophisticated scientific examination that would result from new connections made by the synthesis of the UWP project. A major objective of the project is to establish a benchmark for the next generation of research. Key Projects: Encyclopedia, Library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1611116601964-EVH3WJY6VIS0E4S146AL/Education.jpg Programs - SC - Education Picture students in a lab, each with a different experiment involving native plants. Some are making perfumes from desert acacia; others are examining the protein makeup and content of prickly pear seeds; others are studying the insecticide properties of cottonwood leaves; others are making paper from red yucca fibers; and so on. Most of us were not exposed to the vast economic possibilities yet unexplored in the plant kingdom in our own region. If we value our G. W. Carvers we have to provide a learning environment to promote their development. Another objective of UWP is to begin opening up the unknown world of useful wild plants to students of all ages, K-12, higher institutions, and lay people who have intense but unrealized interests in native and naturalize plants. UWP has developed teaching modules for K-12 that will introduce our next generation to these possibilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835643182-DX6FVFP11QMJBFF8BJP3/onion%2B.jpg Programs - SC - Conservation Now visualize Communities in Schools (CIS) students assisting UWP with the planting of unusual and in some cases rare useful plants of the Edwards Plateau at a Native Plant Sanctuary in Zilker Park. Students in this field class are given specific instructions about the growing conditions for each species and its preferred community. This planting will be a new nature trail for school children and Austinites to see for the first time many plants impossible to see otherwise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835756228-2DV7D7GYXTSRY4X6UC6U/wild%2Bpotato%2B.jpg Programs - SC - Diversification Imagine that you are Jim Johnson, a landowner near Columbus, Texas, whose cattle sales and agricultural efforts barely cover taxes. Youhave large tracts of “brush” that may have potential value, but you have no idea what plants are on your property other than oaks, hackberries, and mesquites, yet you are curious if you have something that can be harvested and sold. We know many landowners who can no longer profit from ranching or traditional agriculture who are looking for new ways to earn income from their land. There are already many businesses makinguse of native plants for commodities and most Texas landowners are not yet participating in these profits. An objective of UWP in this area is to assist landowners in each region to identify appropriate crop plants and to begin to participate in these new economies.As more and more native and naturalized plant products are developed and marketed more resources can be identified for sale by land owners. With more staff UWP hopes expand this service of assisting with diversification efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610836449236-ICY65GWF7DKV4KGCFIBL/marketing%2B.jpg Programs - SC - Marketing Another landowner near Leaky, Texas, Barbara Caspar, notices for the first time that her pinyons (Pinus remota) are bearing. She’s heard that pinyon nuts sell for good profits, but she doesn’t know how to harvest them, process them, store them, or where to sell them. UWP can provide that information. There is no service at present to link landowners with developing businesses that rely in plant resources. A future objective of UWP is to assist in the role of linking resource providers with product manufacturers. Marketing also refers to the use of the media system to get more native plant products into the commodities market and this organization plans to play a role in using of all forms of media to promote plant products and resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835756228-2DV7D7GYXTSRY4X6UC6U/wild%2Bpotato%2B.jpg Programs - SC - Product Development A scientist, Bill McIntyre, working in a pharmaceutical company has tackled the challenge of finding a replacement rubber for latex because many health care staff have developed severe allergies to the latex in prophylactic gloves. Bill turns to UWP, either the volumes or Alluse database, for a list of plants with the appropriate chemical profile for a new rubber. Product developers like Bill McIntyre are the people that bring us the next perfume, a new soda-pop, a new pain-reliever, new dyes, and almost any commodity that can be identified. A major objective of UWP is to get make this information available to product developers searching for ideas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610833162098-EBQSWTLDPBPV6ABYX9QA/HomePage.png Programs - SC Experiencing wild plants in the wild! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835643182-DX6FVFP11QMJBFF8BJP3/onion%2B.jpg Programs - SC Onion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610834280769-B1Y7PPSIZ5179GI0Q5QW/native+tools.jpg Programs - SC The study of making tools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835643182-DX6FVFP11QMJBFF8BJP3/onion%2B.jpg Programs - SC Onion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610836799636-J5PTXIOMYWUQJFY3Q2Q4/yaupon.jpg Programs - SC Youpon utilized for xyz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835232707-W29CWFR7N18MEIVFVZ54/weapon.jpg Programs - SC Handmaking tools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835745100-Y5N1XI253FRK1X4IIOQV/strawberry%2B.jpg Programs - SC Strawberry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610834271905-EPZCRJNGK1FLAG7W8XRN/cave+living.png Programs - SC Field exploration of Native American Dwellings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835745100-Y5N1XI253FRK1X4IIOQV/strawberry%2B.jpg Programs - SC Strawberry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610836449236-ICY65GWF7DKV4KGCFIBL/marketing%2B.jpg Programs - SC Wild plants for landscape design https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610834860411-3P12W7428Y8PC9V15RQF/informal%2Beducation.jpg Programs - SC Outdoor education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835756228-2DV7D7GYXTSRY4X6UC6U/wild%2Bpotato%2B.jpg Programs - SC Wild Potato https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610834262048-VXS4DQVWOCQ0O0M1PS1J/caddo%2Bdomicile%2Breconstruction%2B.jpg Programs - SC The construction of Native American Dwellins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610835756228-2DV7D7GYXTSRY4X6UC6U/wild%2Bpotato%2B.jpg Programs - SC Wild Potato https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610837006342-EN81LUNOQDP9E3DAQUKC/stuffing%25252B.jpg Programs - SC Wild plants for making pillow stuffing. https://usefulwildplants.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-05-21 https://usefulwildplants.org/volunteer-sc daily 0.75 2021-05-10 https://usefulwildplants.org/sponsors-sc daily 0.75 2021-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1611668616874-5VB06DAEQK3N1B1DPBR8/Ceeser+kleberg+logo.png Sponsors - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847946809-9TVAJ3ULUAVC16OSUBF9/image-asset.png Sponsors - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847946556-M1AN49LYHPF0K2YBX96E/image-asset.png Sponsors - SC https://usefulwildplants.org/projects-home daily 0.75 2021-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810059-DD42TW118D0HPYA5VMXV/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810298-OE2TCASTBRN32929CY0H/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810298-OE2TCASTBRN32929CY0H/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810298-OE2TCASTBRN32929CY0H/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810298-OE2TCASTBRN32929CY0H/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810059-DD42TW118D0HPYA5VMXV/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810298-OE2TCASTBRN32929CY0H/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810059-DD42TW118D0HPYA5VMXV/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847810298-OE2TCASTBRN32929CY0H/image-asset.jpeg Projects - SC https://usefulwildplants.org/uwp-mission daily 0.75 2021-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610832088609-JAVB19BX0OJ88U2DFRDF/UWP%2Bsign.jpg UWP Mission - What we do. The Useful Wild Plants (UWP) project sets a standard for studying plant uses throughout the world. We are working to compile the first definitive economic botany encyclopedias for the southern half of the United States and northern Mexico. More than four decades of intensive interdisciplinary research have gone into this project, and it is the only undertaking of its kind world-wide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1616252958815-WPX2PTZG5FQ17M5WWGB7/safari%2Btrek%2B.jpeg UWP Mission - Our Mission Our mission is to advance the stewardship of wild and naturalized plants of Texas and surrounding regions. Texas is the hub of a botanical domain that spans the southern half of the United States and the northern third of Mexico. Over 4,000 species of native and naturalized plants from this region are a part of the Useful Wild Plants project. By compiling a comprehensive information base of the uses for these plants, we facilitate the sustainable economic development of an underutilized renewable resource. In doing so, we are able to: Document human uses of regional botanical resources from early man to the most recent advances in scientific research; Explore untapped applications for botanical resources in nutritional, pharmaceutical, industrial, and domestic use; Advance interdisciplinary research by encouraging and participating in cooperative projects among scientists including economic botanists, anthropologists, agronomists, chemists, nutritionists, medical scientists, pharmacognocists, and industrialists; Teach about the indispensable function of plants in fragile life ecosystems and the crucial, but often unnoticed, role that plants play in our daily experience; Preserve endangered plants and habitats through conservation efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1610822985877-JR8L0RO56HDCS1TO5NAU/The+Useful+Wild+Plants+Encyclopedias.jpg UWP Mission https://usefulwildplants.org/uwp-team daily 0.75 2021-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1611703031080-EUBOO7B0Y9M51DFB5FZM/scooter.png UWP Team - Scooter Cheatham President and Founder Scooter Cheatham founded the Useful Wild Plants project in 1971.

He is a professional photographer, writer, and architect and is the lead author of the encyclopedic Useful Wild Plants… He has been called a Renaissance Man, a Jack-of-All-Trades, and a Polypyroferromaniac (a term coined by bowmaker Ron Hardcastle for someone with a whole lot of irons in the fire). The name “Scooter” is apt for someone who rarely slows down — it was give to him the day he was born. Actually, just about everything Scooter does is relevant to the same big picture — helping people understand how the pieces of the world fit together, most particularly the many roles that plants play in our lives, where we fit into that, and how our choices and actions affect the world. He sees the world in big pictures and overviews, as systems and as things to be blown apart so the pieces can put back together in new and better ways using research, experimentation, architecture, resource consulting, teaching, botany, art, film-making, storytelling, experimental archeology, psychology, community organizing, and more to do this — the more tools in the toolbox the better.

Roux Vice President Stan Roux is a Distinguished Teaching Professor at UT Austin and has been honored with the Regents Outstanding Teaching Award along with many other prestigious scientific and teaching awards throughout his career. He joined the Useful Wild Plants Project in 1991 (here’s why) and has played an active role in exposing UT students to the work we do as well as working in his role as Vice President of the Board of Trustees. Tomatoes were Stan’s gateway plant into botany. As a student at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama, he planted some Big Boy tomato plants that grew to be nine feet tall and yielded 10 pounds of tomatoes each. He also foraged his way around the campus, harvesting tasty wild muscadine grapes and passionflower fruits. His success at tomato growing caused him to change his major from Classics to botany. This led to a Master’s degree at Loyola University in New Orleans, a PhD at Yale, and a faculty position at UT Austin, where he found his way to the Useful Wild Plants Project via a neighborhood meeting that he and UWP founder Scooter Cheatham both attended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1613048530323-GIR13Z9X8UVH1VLC79O1/sher.png Board and Leadership - Sheryl Cheatham Treasurer Sheryl has served as an Accounting Manager/Controller in the private sector, helping small start-ups improve their financial processes and develop solutions to further their future, running her own tax and bookkeeping business in her “spare” time.

You should just put the encyclopedia out on CDs.” “It would be cheaper and faster to put the encyclopedia out on CD-rom instead of printing books.” “I’m going to wait for it to come out on CD-rom because I want something that will last forever.” We hear some variation of these comments at every event we do. Computers were supposed to send the book off into the vast wasteland of ephemera to die quietly. But that isn’t what’s happening. Today we have “the cloud,” but that isn’t a sure thing either. Martin Payne explains the perils of impermanence in a piece he wrote in 2003. Storage Media Surprises by Martin B. Payne A thousand years ago, things were vastly different from what they are today. It is likely that things will be vastly different 1,000 years from now. Several years ago, Wired magazine published a brief article regarding audio storage media. The article centered around the question, “In 1000 years, which of today’s audio storage media will likely be able to be read by our descendents?” The author’s postulated answer surprised me, but made sense. I have always felt that CD’s were the ultimate in terms of long-term storage and durability. I probably should have known better since I am in the information business, but the Chief Technical Officer at my company had to enlighten me. Basically, CDs are polycarbonate (plastic) sheets with different-sized pits burned into them. Aluminum foil covers these pits. A laser reflects light off of the pits, thereby creating the “ones and zeros” that make up digital information. Lacquer covers the foil to protect the aluminum from the elements (clean aluminum oxidizes rapidly when exposed to air). So, as our CTO explained, if the lacquer or case is compromised, air gradually leaks in and the data is jeopardized. He felt like 3 years was the maximum that you could really depend on a CD, but he has recently been convinced that maybe ten years is a reasonable maximum, for critical data. I was in awe. I thought (or didn’t think, in this case) they’d last forever! Some websites say 50 to 100 years is reasonable to expect for family pictures, non-“mission critical” data, etc. So a CD in 1000 years? No way. However, the Wired article was concerned not just with the “mechanical integrity” of the CD, but also the existence of a device that would read it. In other words, due to the evolution of hardware and software, Windows, CD readers, and even PCs are likely to be long gone in 1,000 years. And, no one is likely to take the time to recreate complex, yet archaic, operating systems, hardware, etc. just to read archaic storage media. As an analogy, think about how difficult it is to find a machine to read those 5 ¼” floppy disks, and those were commonplace just 15 years ago! So, much to my surprise, the Wired article author picked the vinyl album as the music storage media that would most likely survive and be readable circa A.D. 3000! (A vinyl-record player could likely be improvised in a short period of time out of basic materials, such as a sharp point, some wire, a magnet and a motor.) Similarly, the good old solar-powered book is also likely to be around in 1,000 years, since there are many books around the world today that are over 500 years old, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are well over 2,000 years old. CDs are great, but ask me how many I have on my credenza that have things of interest on them, but that I haven’t ever loaded. A bunch. It is just a hassle to load each of the different index systems, download more little “helper” software programs onto my computer, and then figure out how to find what I want in the index. If that data had been in a book I would have flipped through it long ago. I look forward to the utility of Useful Wild Plants… on CD, as well as the searchability of the information via a relational database (maybe even map-based). But I’m glad that UWP, Inc. is focusing on getting the volumes published first. This project is not just for us, or even our children — it is for posterity. And that’s a long time. https://usefulwildplants.org/roux-why daily 0.75 2021-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6002083814b6d07fbbadd0bc/1621553842423-FOTQ1V4W2BLDSOCB6KWA/UT+Class_Stan+Roux+10.22.13_248.JPG Roux -
