By Kim Wright
DC Staff writer
CSUF biology, botany and
entomology students now will
be able to put their studies into
practice more easily.
William Miller, retired CSUF
chemistry prof essor, has donated
360 acres on Black Mountain,
which is near Prather, to the
Nature Conservancy.
An agreement was also made
with CSUF so that students and
faculty can use the preserve for
teaching and research activities.
In a ceremony held in the
Henry Madden library Special
Collections section yesterday,
Miller was honored for his
foresight and generosity in the
protection of the acres.
Miller named the preserve
after his wife, Mary Elizabeth
Miller, who died Oct 19,1984.
Mary Miller was a member of the
CSUF class of 1948 and was a
third grade teacher in Fresno and
Clovis for fourteen years.

' The tree anemone has shiny
dark green leaves and three inch
white flowers with yellow
centers.
The plant is shrub-like, with
multiple trunks arising from the
ground. The tallest of them reach
up to 15 feet
The tree anemone is often
grown in nurseries, but in
the wild there are less than 2,OX)
individual plants.
The plant is not reproducing
very well; in 1990 it was listed as
a threatened species by the
California Department of Fish
and Game.
Preserving this natural variety
is a primary goal of the Nature
Conservancy.
Like the giant sequoia, the tree
anemone is confined to a very
small area, and it is an early or
"primitive" member of its group.
The plant occurs between
1,500 and 4,000 feet of elevation
in a portion of the county 15
miles across, between the San
Joaquin River and the Big Creek
tributary of the Kings River.
The largest population of tree
anemone in existence is bisected
by Highway 168 as it climbs Big
Sandy Bluff east of Prather on its
way to Shaver Lake.
The Mary Miller Preserve
supports an array of wildlife
including bobcats, squirrels,
rattlesnakes, king snakes, gopher
snakes, several kinds of lizards
and a variety of birds including
red-tailed hawks, woodpeckers,
swifts, nuthatches, thrashers and
vireos.
Miller said his goal is to see to
it that the preserve is well taken
careof in the present as wellasin
future generations.
"I plan to rule from the grave
if I have to," Miller said.
The Special Collections
section of Madden Library is
displaying pictures and
memorabilia of the preserve and
the Miller family.
The exhibit will continue until
December.
