Could we design several different bookmarks - featuring native plants - that we could include when someone purchases a book during a chapter event? Chapters could purchase quantites needed for their activities.

I would be interested in helping with this. I take and use digital photos for painting referrences. Several of my images have been used on the Florida Master Naturalist home page for the featured species. I only ask ask my name and copyright be added to the image. I would be happy to donate the images and do the graphic design. I use Adobe Photoshop CS and CorelDraw ver.11 currently for design work. Frankly I am making bookmarks featuring my artwork for purposes of self promotion, but would love to help FNPS get this message home to people. I recently had some paintings featured at a bookstore. Consider that FNPS chapters could coordinate with local bookstores (large chains and independents). The bookstores might enjoy selling more native plant gardening books and the local chapters could have self promo bookmarks available with chapter info. I could also add other's digital pictures as per your chapter specs. I can make the files available in PDF format or almost any other file format for commercial printing.
