We are still accepting clearance forms from the 2018 season until January 31st. After that you may submit a seed request form. Please let me know if you need copies of these forms. During the shutdown, the Smithsonian had to turn away any shipped herbarium vouchers. These should have been returned to the originating address, please let me know if these were not returned to your office. *The Smithsonian is now accepting shipments until February 15th, please ship your vouchers if you still have them.* *The February SOS call is cancelled.* Please use this time to plan for the 2018 collecting season and let me know if you have any questions or need any help. The monthly calls will resume in March as the new field season begins. Anyone planning to make SOS collections in 2019 should attend these calls. If you need the conference line please email me individually ( lprescott at blm.gov).
