[PCA] Native Plant Curriculum - Oregon and Institure for Applied Ecology

[Patricia_DeAngelis at fws.gov]

While we're talking education...

I just want to remind Listservers of the Oregon Native Plants Curriculum 
that was recently developed by the Institute for Applied Ecology:  
http://appliedeco.org/ecological-education/native-plants-curriculum

(These are the same people hosting the National Native Seed Conference 
next Spring; see 10/12/12 PCA listserve post.)

What excited me particularly about this work was that it crosswalked the 
curriculum with the state standards - creating a real entry point for 
educators to consider using this curriculum.

The PCA Federal Committee Chair (specifically, BLM's Plant Conservation 
Program lead) is working with the Institute to develop a version of the 
curriculum so that it can be adapted for each state.
