That would be great. I regret I'm not in the role I once was, but
this issue is still dear to my heart. <br>
<br>
A meeting of the minds, and forging of common strategies and
efforts could be a great thing in both stewarding 'sang in the
wild and supporting lifeways of the responsible ginseng stewards
and harvesters out there. <br>

I'm amused to see Robert Eidus as the spokesperson
for the survivability of Ginseng. It will be gone
in 10-20 years? That's idiotic.
<br>
<br>
I'm sure Mr. Eidus didn't mean what he was cast as
saying on the clip, but it's still incorrect
information.
<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm very disappointed to see UPS trumpeting this
incorrect and sensationalized clip.
<br>
<br>
Yes, there are issues with ginseng harvest, and
I'd be the first to shout from the mountaintop
that poaching is a real issue that needs
attention, and that more resources should go into
plant conservation. But putting incorrect
information out to spur public concern is
disingenuous. <br>
