"Conserving Plant Biodiversity in a Changing World: A View from Northwestern
North America," a conference hosted by University of Washington Botanic
Gardens March 13-14, 2012.

We face an uncertain future - economically, politically, and climatically.
Those concerned with managing, researching or protecting rare plants and their
habitats need to be aware of these changes and have the necessary tools to
effectively address them. We will have papers, both invited and contributed,
that will engage all in a dialogue intended to raise questions and find
solutions. Participants from throughout northwestern North America will
contribute ideas and meet colleagues for future collaboration.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Peter Raven, President Emeritus of the Missouri Botanical
Garden

Submit an abstract for presentations and posters by October 28th to
