Join us for a discussion with Anna Carragee, the volunteer and outreach coordinator with UW’s Rare Care plant monitoring program!  Rare Care is part of the UW Botanic Garden with a focus on monitoring, conservation and recovery of rare flora of Washington State.  We’ll learn about a few of the rare species in Eastern Washington the program is hoping to monitor this year and how we can help!  We’ll also hear from one of our very own members, Darcy Dauble, about her experience as a Rare Care volunteer!  All are welcome to join this free event.
