U.s. botanist and bryologist (1874–1971).
Henry Shoemaker Conard (1874 - 1971) was an American botanist. Conard, a leading authority on bryophytes and water lilies, was also an early advocate of environmental preservation. From 1906 to 1955, he worked at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. In 1954, he became the first to receive the Eminent Ecologist Award from the Ecological Society of America. In 1969, Grinnell acquired a 365-acre (1.48 km2) plot of cropland and established the Conard Environmental Research Area, in recognition of the legacy of the longtime professor.
