Lucy Cranwell
Lucy May Cranwell (7 August 1907 – 8 June 2000) was a New Zealand botanist responsible for groundbreaking work in palynology. Cranwell was appointed curator of botany at Auckland Museum in 1929, when she was 21 years old. As well as her work on ancient pollen samples she was responsible for encouraging a love of botany in a generation of Auckland children.
==Early life and education==
Cranwell was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1907. She grew up in Henderson under the strong influence of her conservation-minded and artistic mother. It has been suggested that Cranwell inherited the unpredictable aspects of her fearless and adventuresome spirit from her mother's Cornish roots.〔Obituary in the Yearbook of the Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand 2000〕 Her father was a trained nurseryman who had planted an extensive orchard in the family property. She attended Henderson public school and then Epsom Girls Grammar School. She entered the University of Auckland in 1925 where she undertook an initial BA degree that was a mixture of English and Botany, followed by a masters in Botany with a thesis on the epiphytes of the Waitakere Ranges. She graduated in 1929.
During her university studies she developed a love of tramping and gained a reputation as the strongest, fastest walker in the University Field Club.〔 Her love of the New Zealand wilderness stood her in good stead for the many botany field trips she began to embark on, most often with fellow botany student and friend Lucy Beatrice Moore, to various remote and inaccessible parts of the country.
