This issue highlights a new Plant Exploration Fund (page 3). Lin Lougheed, the Fund’s Founder, will give a matching gift of $100,000 to encourage others who
believe in the irreplaceable value of plants to contribute to the Fund. If you are inclined to support plant exploration, this is a good year to donate to the fund, since your donation will be matched.
