Rare Species List Review: Plant & Fungi Meeting October 11 2018

It's that time again for our triennial rare plant and fungi meeting to update our publication, "Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species of Oregon", last revision in 2016. The meeting will be held on Thursday, October 11 in Corvallis, Oregon State University campus, Memorial Union, Asian Pacific Room, from 8:30 to 5:00 pm at the latest, though we may end earlier.

Please send in your recommendations for list changes before the meeting or be prepared to present it at the meeting. We highly recommend -- more efficient -- that you send the information beforehand so that we can compile it in a spreadsheet and do some pre-meeting review. You do not have to attend the meeting to have your recommendations considered but you must submit them in writing (e-mail or mail) to our office.

Information needed:
1) Species name - with the authority, if known.
2) What you are proposing - e.g. from one list to another, new add, de-listing, etc.
3) Reasons for the proposal - please articulate with as much specific detail as possible
4) Any other comments or helpful information - e.g. for new adds, any information or links that might aid in identification, habitat description etc.
5) Proponent(s) name and contact information - only needed if you are submitting for someone else

Send recommendations to Sue Vrilakas (sue.vrilakas@pdx.edu) or Lindsey Wise (lindsey.wise@pdx.edu) or Michael Russell (michael.russell@oregonstate.edu). Please note that John Christy has retired from our program but has not left the botanical realm. Non-vascular and fungi comments, questions, and issues will now be handled by Michael Russell.

Check our website at https://inr.oregonstate.edu/orbic/rare-species/rare-species-oregon-publications to see the previous lists and publications.

As we receive and compile the recommendations, we will post them to https://inr.oregonstate.edu/orbic for others to review.
