For those of us who are arriving Saturday morning, what time does the gate open? Will we need a passcode/combo to get in if we arrive early?

The gate opens at 8:00 am and closes at 7 pm

Market research concept for review and discussion.  The idea is to partner with a university and have business students take on this assignment as part of their coursework.  Having done a similar project for a non-profit as a graduate business student myself, this is a real "win-win": FNPS obtains valuable information and students obtain valuable experience doing market research.

The attachment posted here is the document that would be given to the students to guide their efforts.  The benefit for FNPS is to gain a better market-based understanding of which plants are selling where in order to target our efforts of increasing native plant awareness with consumers.

I see that Anne just added this to the agenda.  Please see attached letter and background information from the Native Plant Conservation Campaign.  They are requesting that FNPS sign the Equal Protection for Plants letter.
