Conservation Corner by Sylvan Kaufman

Excerpt from Conservation Corner from our NPSNM newsletter, April - June 2026.
Sylvan Kaufman, NPSNM Conservation Committee Chair

I welcome Margaret Menache as Co-Chair of the Conservation Committee!  You may know Margaret as the newsletter editor, but she shares a deep interest in conservation with me and together we hope to accomplish more than I could do alone. Reach out to us or to your chapter's conservation representative if you have conservation questions or concerns.

One of our new goals is to write "talking points" that you or your chapter can use to advocate for different plant conservation issues.  Look for our first talking points on the web site in time for April's Native Plant Month.  We encourage individuals and chapters to write letters to the editor, write social media posts, or to use other outlets to encourage public appreciation and conservation of native plants during Native Plant Month.
