Botanic Gardens Conservation International — US, United States Botanic Garden, and Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum are conducting an important survey to document all living plant collections in North America as part of a regional and global assessment. Survey organizers thank those who have already contributed their collection’s taxa list to the PlantSearch database, and encourage other collection professionals to participate before the survey closes on August 1, 2010.
This effort will help to fill the gap in our knowledge of plant diversity and threatened plants in cultivation. It’s quick, easy, and free to participate. Simply upload a spreadsheet of taxa held in your collections to the PlantSearch database.
To participate, visit www.bgci.org/usa/MakeYourCollectionsCount. Please contact Abby Hird at abby_hird@harvard.edu or (617) 384-5774 if you have questions or require assistance in completing the survey.
