The California Native Plant Society is preparing to host a special statewide conference emphasizing the conservation of California’s native plants and its fragile plant communities. This conference, CNPS 2009 Conservation Conference: Strategies and Solutions , will be held January 17 – 19, 2009 at the Sacramento Convention Center in Sacramento, CA.
Encouraging an understanding of California plants is one of the objectives of this landmark conference. One way this objective is being met is with a botanical art exhibition featuring illustrations and paintings of California native plants. This exhibit is open to all artists. Please download the Call for Entries and the Prospectus & Entry Form for details.
Over 1,000 researchers, students, policy makers, and resource managers are expected to attend. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate how botanical illustrators can contribute to enhancing public awareness about California plants.
