Karl Urban Remembered
1943-1999
"A flower is an exquisite thing - beautiful, delicate and a harbinger of hope for the green world that lets us all survive. I find no need to claim that flower as my own. With clear conscience I throw out the trowel! Flowers forever". (Reprinted from an article written by Karl in 1983 entitled "Requiem for a Haybaler: Throwing in (out) the Trowel")
Karl Urban was born June 6, 1943 in Kimberly, Idaho. He grew up in Kimberly where he attended grade and high school. In 1962 he attended the University of Idaho, where he majored in Botany, and he then received his masters in Botany in 1968.
In that same year he moved to Pendleton to accept a position as instructor of Botany at Blue Mountain Community College where he taught for 23 years. His spring wildflower identification classes became an anticipated event by many Pendleton residents. Each summer for many years, he also taught an intensive two week vascular plant identification course on the Steens Mountains. Here is a quote from one of Karl's writings on his approach to teaching. "Both by profession and by nature I am a teacher. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and am delighted when others "seize the torch" and want to learn more". We can say that Karl Urban popularized botany with non-professionals. He was one of the founding members of the Blue Mountain Chapter of the Oregon Native Plant Society, and his wife Elaine was the founding secretary. He was instrumental in the formation of National Wildflower Week. For his tireless efforts he went to Washington D.C. to receive national recognition. He was also instrumental in obtaining a National Science Foundation grant for a solar-heated greenhouse for Blue Mountain Community College.
In 1991 he became the botanist for the Umatilla National Forest. He cared a great deal about the forest resources and environment and had botanized virtually the whole of the Umatilla National Forest. He drew many of the wildflowers of the area and put them on coloring pages so children could learn about their natural heritage. These drawings can be found on the Internet at http://www.aqd.nps.gov/npc:/color/ He also completed a natural vegetation map and associated database for the forest.
His recent work demonstrates the style which came to be Karl's. He worked with total dedication to produce in quantity and quality above and beyond the expectations of others. Karl demonstrated a multi-faceted life with his accomplishments attained during long hours of work but within relatively short time frames. He consistently amazed us with his output.
Probably one of the highlights of Karl's life was the year he spent on Sabbatical at Oregon State University It was 1988 and Karl felt that after twenty years of teaching it was time for a year of refresher studies. So while taking a full load of classes he decided that he still wasn't busy enough, so he proposed to Dr. Kenton Chambers that he might also compile a checklist database with the new computer technology available. Therefore by working day and night for three terms, Karl built the foundation for our current computer database, and he planted the seeds for the current "Oregon Flora Project".
To quote Karl one final time, "My efforts, imperfect as they may have been, were to serve as one of several catalysts that would help the Oregon Checklist and Flora projects get under way. My work is in good hands now, as Oregon's professional botanical community revises and builds upon a foundation I helped initiate. I am ecstatic that my work was not in vain!" Nor was your life in vain Karl. Thank you for carrying that torch so long and so well. We will all do our best to see that the fire continues to burn.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Karl Urban Scholarship Fund at BMCC, directly, or through Burns Mortuary of Pendleton, P.O. Box 489, Pendleton, OR 97801.
Jerry Baker, Blue Mountain Chapter
In Memory of Karl Urban
It was during my many summers at the Malheur Field Station in eastern Oregon that I came to know Karl Urban. During the summer of 1977 I was a cook at the field station, earning enough to take a class or two. Karl Urban was teaching his Vascular Plants of Steens Mountain which was a favorite class, often full to capacity. One attraction to the class was that the class departed early in the week and camped out on Steens Mountain until the weekend. Karl gave the students just enough time at the field station to do their laundry. Then back up the mountain to botanize in the quaking aspen groves, up to the high alpine meadows, down glaciated gorges, to the edges of melting snow packs, and around rushing mountain streams.
Another attraction to the class was the enthusiasm and love of the plants that Karl shared with his classes. Karl became very conservation-minded about collecting and studying the plants on Steens, especially since there are a number of endemic species in the area. After a plant had been keyed by the class, Karl used a big white sketch pad to tape a specimen or two with a list of the key characteristics for the whole class to study. This meant fewer collections of the same plants, ensuring an abundance of plants for many future classes and the public to enjoy.
It was in the summer of 1977 that as a cook I was most discouraged with the "balloon" type bread that was sent out on camping trips from the station. The white bread would get smashed and compacted after days in a box being tossed around on the bumpy roads and was not very useable for sandwiches.That was when I decided to make Karl Urban's class homemade whole wheat bread to last them through their week on Steens Mountain. Karl was very grateful for this special addition to the supplies since it made his week just a little easier on the mountain top. In gratitude for the whole wheat bread and for packing his week long supplies; Karl and his class presented me with a copy of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest by Hitchcock and Cronquist inscribed by Karl and his class. This random act of kindness was typical of Karl. We will miss Karl for his enthusiasm in teaching botany and for his love of plants, especially of Steens Mountain.

Mill Creek Falls Knapweed Pull
Saturday and Sunday, May 1-2
Mike Igo led a hike into Mill Creek Falls during the NPSO Annual Meeting in May 1998. While there, we noted that fire road disturbance dating from the 1978 "School Marm" fire introduced diffuse knapweed into this unique, isolated community of west-side plants in the middle of the desert. We vowed to return and remove it. We did, in August of last year, and we plan to return again this spring to remove any knapweed that may have escaped our attention last August. We will also remove knapweed along some of the watershed service roads.
Mill Creek Falls is a spectacular, towering waterfall that drops into a deep, north-facing basalt canyon on South Fork Mill Creek, in The Dalles Watershed, an area not open to public access. The mist-filled canyon at the base of the falls supports a plant community reminiscent of similar settings in the Western Gorge. Here, however, thimbleberry thickets and towering western red cedar grow surrounded by a parched landscape of oak, juniper and sage. In May, balsamroot and lupine will adorn the surrounding oak savanna.
This weekend work party will be a privileged opportunity to visit this unique spot. We have made arrangements with The Dalles Watershed to gain entry. Party size will be limited to about 15. We will camp Saturday night near the reservoir. Access to our campsite will be by 4WD trail. This will be a joint venture with the Pacific Coast Rover Club, whose members will provide transportation by Land Rover into our campsite. This will be a primitive camp with no water, though we will have the use of the patrol cabin for cooking and gear storage.
Contact Mike McKeag, ( policy), mmckeag@teleport.com to sign up, and for more information, including meeting time and location Saturday morning.
