[PCA] Two Tropical Botany Student Awards Now Open

[Bruce Stein]

So glad to see that these Garden Club of America fellowships in tropical botany are continuing. I was the recipient of one of these in the mid-1980s while at Missouri Botanical Garden, and went on to spend my career in the conservation profession, advocating for biodiversity generally but working to ensure that plants have a seat at the table in a wildlife/animal-oriented conservation world.

I am retiring from National Wildlife Federation early in January, and to those with whom I’ve worked over the years (and those I haven’t), thank you for your efforts on behalf of plant conservation! My personal email following retirement is: stein.bruce.a at gmail.com<mailto:stein.bruce.a at gmail.com>
