Summer 2006
Denver, Colorado

The United States Botanic Garden, Denver Botanic Gardens and the Center for Plant Conservation held their second Applied Plant Conservation Training Program this summer in Denver.

The two-week program featured an intensive weeklong workshop, coordinated by the CPC and taught by leaders in plant conservation and restoration. Topics included conservation genetics, demographics, viability assessment, reintroduction and volunteer programs. The second week focused on developing conservation programs, exploring horticultural techniques, education, interpretation, funding, volunteer conservation programs and opportunities for partnerships. Five interns continued for an additional eight weeks of field work and research.
