A couple of guys found a new species of Indian paintbrush a few years ago while hiking in the Scapegoat Wilderness . . .
When Pete Lesica and Dave Hanna get their boots on the ground, they like to keep their eyes there, too.
“I do botany as a hobby and as a living. I’m kind of a nerd and am a little obsessive,” Lesica said with a laugh. “I look at the ground all of the time.”
