[PCA] Utah rare plant task force meeting - March 7

[Tony Frates]

Red Butte Garden and the Utah Native Plant Society are pleased to 
announce that the 5th annual co-sponsored rare plant task force 
meeting will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on Tuesday, March 7, 
2006, from 10am to 5pm.  The agenda will follow a format similar to 
prior years involving a series of short presentations by a variety of 
experts and individuals working on Utah rare plant related 
conservation and other projects including updates to projects 
discussed at prior meetings, ongoing/new projects and an opportunity 
for general networking and for providing input relating to the status 
of Utah rare plants.

A CPC partner institution, Red Butte Garden is a regional botanical 
center which is a part of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, 
Utah and located at the mouth of one of the most pristine canyons in 
the West.

The Utah Native Plant Society is a 501(c)(3) organization which was 
founded in 1978 and its mission includes the preservation and 
conservation of native plant species in the Intermountain West.

There is no registration fee (other than a nominal fee for lunch).  
Because of space limitations, attendance to the meetings has 
typically been on an invitation basis but we certainly would like to 
extend that invitation to others who may be interested or who may be 
working on projects relating to Utah's rare flora.

If interested, please send an e-mail to unps at unps.org by February 22.
