Position: Photo Collection Coordinator/Curator (volunteer)

 

A priority of the NPCC is to showcase the beauty and diversity of the native flora of the U.S. To that end we are seeking a volunteer to collect and catalog photographs of plant species and communities from ecosystems around the country.

 

We are seeking a volunteer Coordinator for this collection. Responsibilities include:

*	contacting photographers around the country, mostly in Native Plant Societies, who may be willing to donate photos
*	creating an online searchable list or database of the collected images
*	Ensuring that all information about the species, plant community, location, and photographer is accurate and attached to each image

We hope to create a high quality, well cataloged image collection that will be useful to native plant societies, researchers, conservation advocates, gardeners, the media and others. The NPCC will also use these photos to develop education and outreach materials, both online and in print.

 

Our goal is not to create an exhaustive collection of all U.S. species and communities.  We hope to assemble a set of images demonstrating the staggering beauty and diversity of our flora and their habitats.

Experience welcome, but not required!

 

Please see the NPCC website <http://t.ymlp44.com/ewhacaejeeeanaqmwanaqh/click.php>  for information on our other programs. 

 

Contact danf at plantsocieties.org <mailto:danf at plantsocieties.org?subject=Volunteer+-+Photo+Collection+Coordinator>  if you are interested in working on this project.

 

Please pass this message on to anyone you think may be interested!
