[Abby Meyer]

Hello, just sending a quick reminder about the approaching deadline for this new funding program, April 14.

Thank you to the botanic garden folks who have sent great questions and species project ideas.

We look forward to seeing all the great project proposals - and please don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Take care,
Abby

New opportunity to fund projects to support conservation action by botanic gardens for rare plant species

BGCI is pleased to announce that thanks to a collaboration between BGCI-US and USDA Forest Service, botanic gardens can apply for Forest Service Rare Plant Partnerships<https://www.bgci.org/our-work/sharing-knowledge-and-resources/global-botanic-garden-fund/u-s-forest-service-partnerships-for-rare-plant-conservation/> which support conservation action by botanic gardens for rare plant species that occur on Forest Service land in the U.S. and U.S. territories.
In general, partnerships should be structured as one year projects with budgets between USD $5,000 and USD $10,000.
Applications must satisfy the following conditions:

  *   Work is completed by personnel at a botanic garden, or similar organisation.
  *   Activities are focused on one or more rare plant species that occur on Forest Service land.
  *   Projects on Forest Service land must be coordinated with local Forest Service personnel (the degree of involvement of Forest Service personnel may vary).
  *   The main focus is on appropriate conservation action for the target species. Activities may include seed or other germplasm banking, out-plantings, molecular genetic studies, or any non-research activity falling within the Integrated Plant Conservation model.
  *   BGCI membership is not required, however BGCI member organisations will be given priority.
Call for applications will remain open until 14 April 2023.
