Are you interested in an opportunity to contribute to the
conservation of Washington's rare plants and at the same time visit premier
examples of Washington's native ecosystems? Volunteer as a rare plant monitor
with Washington Rare Plant Care and Conservation and help collect valuable
information on status of rare plant populations. Rare plant monitors visit known
populations of rare plants all around the state to check and report on the
condition of the population and its habitat.
What kind of skills do we seek in volunteers? We are looking for
people who can identify native plants in the field, have a commitment to native
plant conservation and good observation skills, can commit a few days during the
spring and summer, and can provide their own transportation. Training is
mandatory for participation and is offered in 2008 at two locations: Seattle on
Saturday, March 1st and Wenatchee on Saturday, April 5th. For more information
