Norbert F. Belzer, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Biology Department


As you might have guessed from the statement at the top of the page you are visiting with a Botanist. I have diverse interests and teach Genetics, Evolution, Field Ecology, Principles of Ecology, Botany and some of the majors' introductory Biology. Presently I am working to establish La Salle as an Arboretum. Although the project is in its infancy, work is fairly far along on identifying the woody plants (trees, shrubs and vines) of the campus and some of the plants have been labeled. To find out more about this project and access the current checklist, click on ARBORETUM in the menu at the bottom of this page.

Teaching is my primary interest and duty. I have been at La Salle since 1969. When time permits I work on the La Salle Arboretum project, Flora of the Penllyn Natural Area and the biology of the upper Wissahickon Creek. I have collaborated with Robert Allen Smith at The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia on plant tissue culture (Taxus, Nicotiana).
