Call for Field Trips
Botany 2004 represents the
annual meeting of four professional societies, including: the American Bryological
and Lichenological Society (ABLS), the American Fern Society (AFS), the American
Society of Plant Taxonomists (ASPT), and the Botanical Society of America
(BSA). The conference will be held in Snowbird, Utah from July 31 to August
5, 2004, and the theme for Botany 2004 will be “Alpine Diversity: Adapted
to the Peaks.” Members of all participating societies are encouraged
to organize and lead scientific field trips at the annual meeting. Scientific
field trips can be either theme-based or more general in scope. In addition,
field trips can be single-day or multi-day events and typically take place on
the days before or after the paper, poster, and symposium sessions.
Field trips are ticketed events
and generally have limited enrollments. Careful consideration must be given
to logistical issues. Field trip organizers will work closely with a Local
Field Trip Coordinator, who will also solicit field trip ideas from local
and regional botanists. Field trips are ticketed events and generally have
