Save the Date! The *2016 Colorado Plateau Native Plant Program Annual
Meeting *will be in *Page, Arizona, March 22 & 23, 2016*, at the Courtyard

hotel.

It has been a busy year for native plant materials!  New Federal strategies
such as the *National Native Seed Strategy*
<http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/fish__wildlife_and/plants/seedstrategy.html>
and *National Strategy to Promote the Health of Honeybees and Other
Pollinators*
<https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/05/19/announcing-new-steps-promote-pollinator-health>,
as well as events like the National Native Seed Conference
<http://nativeseed.info/>, have underscored the importance of regional
programs like the CPNPP.

Therefore I hope that everyone who has *anything* to do with native plant
materials in our region will be able to join us in Page!
