Dear Botanists and Plant Ecologists ,
We are seeking plant enthusiasts that would like to assist in gathering post-eruption field measurements at the Mount St. Helens volcano, Washington State. This activity is part of the 35th anniversary event of the 1980 eruption this coming July 26-Aug 1st, where ecologists from across the country and beyond will convene at the volcano to gather measurements on the ecological status of the area. It will be an opportunity to see first-hand how these systems are responding to catastrophic disturbance and to learn key lessons on the fascinating ecological change that has unfolded since the eruption. We are seeking volunteers that would like to get involved with gathering these important benchmark measurements of our long-term vegetation plots. Food and well-equipped campsites area provided. Additional dates, both before and after, July 26-August 1st, are available. Please spread the word within your networks about this opportunity. Interested parties can contact me for more details at [email protected] Thanks! Andres <[email protected]>
