Andrea Kramer

Andrea Kramer is Senior Director of Restoration, Associate Conservation Scientist, and David Byron Smith Family Curator of Natural Areas at the Chicago Botanic Garden. She conducts research in partnership with natural areas stewards to inform how we care for and understand our natural areas. In particular, she is interested in understanding how natural areas can best be stewarded to support species diversity of plants and all of the other species that depend on them. This includes informing work to produce and use seeds of native species to support the restoration of diverse and resilient habitat.
