We face an uncertain future - economically, politically, and
climatically. Those concerned with managing, researching or
protecting rare plants and their habitats need to be aware of
these changes and have the necessary tools to effectively
address them. We will have papers, both invited and
contributed, that will engage all in a dialogue intended to
raise questions and find solution. Participants from
throughout northwestern North America will contribute ideas
and meet colleagues for future collaboration.
