Dear Friends, The Chicago Botanic Garden and Botanic Gardens Conservation International (US office) are working with several partners to assess plant science capacity in the United States. The aim of this grant-funded project is to identify our strengths and areas for improvement in plant science education, research and habitat management in the U.S.
We need your help. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey, which includes questions about the organization you work at, as well as your academic and work experience, access to resources, and your opinion on several conservation issues.
