2010 Symposium Call for Posters

Erysimum capitatum

Botanical Treasures in Northern California – What's at Stake?

January 11-13, 2010
California State University Chico
Bell Memorial Union Auditorium

Northern California Botanists is hosting a symposium on January 11-12, 2010, to be held at the Bell Memorial Union located on the CSU, Chico campus at 400 West First St. A 2-day schedule of presentations by working botanists from around the North State will provide updates and perspectives on conservation genetics, invasive species, pollination, herbivory, ecosystem conservation, bryophytes, new discoveries, and mentoring new botanists, all emphasizing the northern part of California. There will also be workshops on the next day, January 13.

The planning committee invites you to the symposium’s poster session to share your work and knowledge of the biology, ecology, conservation or management of our Northern California plant life with others. Please forward this invitation to botanists and others with related interests from Northern California agencies, conservation organizations, consulting firms and academia. This will be a great opportunity for continuing education and networking.
