The
Washington Rare Plant and Ecosystem Conference
April
17-18, 2000
The Miller
Charitable Foundation generously provided funding for
the first-ever two-day symposium on "Rare Plants
and Ecosystems of Washington State." The conference
was a success as nearly 100 scientists, managers, and
concerned citizens attended the sessions.
On April 19,
2000 a group of 14 dedicated scientists and land managers
met to discuss key priorities for the immediate future.
Read the article written by Dr. Sarah Reichard, entitled
"Where to we go from here?"
The article outlines the priorities of education, science,
politics, and funding to further the field of rare plant
conservation.
Order the Proceedings here. Proceedings
of the conference are published by the Washington Native
Plant Society. The proceedings
were produced with assistance from the USDOI Bureau of
Land Management, Washington Natural Heritage Program,
The Nature Conservancy, USDI National Park Service, and
the Washington Native Plant Society.
