"Join us as we explore the fascinating world of shoal lilies (Hymenocallis coronaria), an endangered species native to the southeastern United States. Lets learn about their unique beauty, challenges they face and why these beautiful flowers are worth protecting for future generations, with Sarah Tash, shoal lily researcher, from Auburn University's Wetland and Riparian Lab."
Sarah Tash has been studying shoal lilies for over 3 years, holding a master's degree in Natural Resources from Columbus State University where her research focused on shoal lily populations on the Flint River, GA. She is currently working on a PhD at Auburn University where she is expanding her shoal lily research across diverse habitats in the southeastern U.S. Sarah is involved in restoration and research efforts across three states focusing on understanding the species unique habitat requirements to advance conservation strategies and ensure long term survival of these rare flowers. When she is not working on shoal lily research you can find her at home in Columbus, GA or spending her days wandering around rivers and exploring new habitats.
