Are we making progress on plant conservation in the United States?

BGCI US and the Plant Conservation Alliance are working to answer this 
question, and we.ve developed a survey that lets everyone involved in 
plant conservation* in the U.S. easily report their efforts and help guide 
future plant conservation activities.  Whether you work at a government 
agency, academic institution, or the private sector, or if you work or 
volunteer at a conservation organization, we want to make sure your 
contributions to conserving America's native plants are counted.

We need your help to make this project a success. Please visit 
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NationalFramework to take the survey now.

The survey contains 20 questions, will take 10-15 minutes to complete, and 
will be open until April 30, 2011. Results will be published in a 
freely-available report , and used to measure progress toward the PCA's 
National Framework for Progress in Plant Conservation while helping to 
guide its evolution.  Please see www.bgci.org/usa/PCAProgress for more 
information about this project.

Thank you for your participation!
