[MPWG] [EXTERNAL] Re: PRESENTATION: Nontimber forest products in the United States in a changing climate, Nov. 2, 1pm ET

[De Angelis, Patricia]

I am sorry but the issue regarding federal records disposition is not
appropriate for the medicinal plant working group listserve. Since this
list is not a moderated, I was not able to see this posting before it went
out. So I respectfully request that interested parties use alternative
means to discuss this topic.

Thank you,
Patricia
