<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#262626">The PA Botany Symposium is an event developed by people just like you — individuals who love plants and desire a hub for botanical communication in our region. Due to the COVID pandemic,
the 2020 PA Botany Symposium had to be cancelled. However, the Pennsylvania Botany Planning Committee did not want you to have to wait until 2022 without an opportunity to connect with fellow plant enthusiasts. Instead of the traditional in-person symposium,
during 2021 PA Botany is being offered as a virtual event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#262626">Just like our webinars, we don’t want anyone to miss the symposium due to financial constraints. PA Botany is about building community and we know that many have suffered financial hardship
during the pandemic. In order to make this programming accessible to as many PA botanists and plant enthusiasts as possible, there is no set registration fee for this event. We invite you to pay what you can…and we mean anything. $0, $10, $20, $40? You name
it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
