Akụkọ ndụ

Beatrice Willard was born December 19, 1925, the daughter of Stephen and Beatrice Williard, living in Palm Springs, California and Sierra Nevada during her childhood. Her father was a noted landscape photographer. She developed an interest in natural studies by the time she was twelve. From an early age she was encouraged by her parents to read about plants, animals, and the environment around her. She was awarded a B.A. in biological sciences from Stanford University in 1947, then attended the National Park Service Yosemite Field School. However, she was unable to get a job with the Park Service and took work as a high school teacher, first in Salinas, California, then in Oakland, and finally at Tulelake High School in California. In 1952 she began working as a seasonal interpretive ranger at Lava Beds National Monument and Crater Lake National Park. During the 1950s  Willard was awarded a Ford Foundation grant to study alpine ecology in Europe. She earned her M.A. in 1960 and her Ph.D. in 1963, both in botany/plant ecology at the University of Colorado, advised by John Marr, founder of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.
