Hi,

I work with the Nature Conservancy’s Cool Green Science blog.


We have a post today by Hal Herring about American ginseng digging in
Appalachia past and present and the impact that the global market is having
on the conservation of this native plant:

I thought that many of you would be interested in this story. Let me know
if you have any questions. Thank you!


Cheers,
Lisa
