Dear Mr. Ernesto,
Thank you for renewing your membership to The National Botanical Garden Society. You will find enclosed the latest copy of our magazine along with details of the benefits that membership provides this year.
I am also writing to request your support against a proposal by the National Parkland Administration to out the funding to our Ark Project. The Ark Project, as you know, was founded to create and maintain copies of every plant in the country to help protect and preserve our botanical heritage. This proposed drop in financial support could result in the closure of our Ark Center.
You will find a petition form online at www.nbgsociety.com/petition, but you are also encouraged to contact your congressperson directly to raise your voice against this policy change. We firmly believe the work we do concerns everyone.
Thank you in advance for your support in this important matter.
Yours sincerely,
Erin Lloyd
Chairperson
The National Botanical Garden Society

Free annual subscription to Botany Today, our monthly magazine giving news and updates on all areas of botany. From research projects and book reviews to seed offers for rare species, this periodical with over 50 years of uninterrupted publishing is one of the longest-running magazines in the field. The next issue covers the plight of the Idaho Red Fern—the only specimen known to exist is at our Ark Center.
Discounted admissions to all affiliated gardens and nature reserves. In many cases, it gives our members the chance to visit areas of outstanding natural beauty when closed to the general public. These tours are often conducted by specialists.
Annual dinner & dance invitation. Join us in December at our home in New York City for our end-of-year celebration. We hold a charity auction to raise money for environmental causes while having a great time with like-minded people.
