[PCA] Botany Bill: HR 1054 – Call for advocacy!

[Evelyn Williams]

Have you heard about the "Botany Bill"?  Formally known as “The Botanical
Sciences and Native Plant Materials Research, Restoration and Promotion
Act, HR 1054” was introduced to the United States House of Representatives
in February 2017.

The Botany Bill is intended to promote botanical research and botanical
sciences capacity (including botanical education), generate demand for
native plant materials, and authorize related federal activities.

 The Plant Conservation Alliance Non-Federal Cooperators Committee is
coordinating advocacy actions for the Bill. The PCA is seeking your help in
this grassroots effort! If you are interested in helping out (including
emailing, calling, or visiting your representatives) and getting updates on
the bill, visit http://www.plantconservationalliance.org/botany-bill

Best,
  - Evelyn Williams
