The Alaska Rare Plant Forum met in Fairbanks March 25-27. This meeting was one of the best attended ever with over 30 people arriving from all over Alaska and Yukon, Canada, representing several government agencies, academic institutes, and private research endeavors. These annual meetings offer a unique opportunity for botanists and ecologists working throughout the state to share ideas, results, and future plans for their respective areas. Presentations of various projects were given Wednesday and Thursday at the BLM-Northern District Office, followed by workshops and demonstration events at the University of Alaska Museum Herbarium on Friday. Here are some of the highlights from this year's Forum.
