We are deeply saddened by the passing of eminent bryologist and UBC Professor Emeritus of Botany Dr. Wilf Schofield on November 5th at Vancouver. Many members of the UBC community and the botanical world, will grieve this great loss. While tributes to Wilf’s life will occur in the days to come, at this time, we simply wish to extend our sincere sympathies to Wilf’s family and his many colleagues, students, and friends.
