Hi Everybody,

Below are the remaining summer programs I have scheduled through the Seattle
Parks Department. I bunched them together to make them into full weekends
of work. A couple of these programs may not have gotten into the summer
brochure and the on-line brochure, but if we can get enough people I will do
them anyway.

I'm currently pretty busy working out of town on a weed survey in the Cedar
River Watershed (half of Seattle's water source), and am schedled to begin a
rare plant survey later this summer in the Willamette Valley, both with
Pacific Biodiversity Institute. I have also agreed to put in a few days
collecting native seeds for the Forest Service on the Olympic Peninsula, but
I look forward to breaking from my botanist work to lead these programs. I
may not be able to answer e-mails or calls more than once every week or two.

Thank you for your support!

- Stewart
