Draft National Invasive Species Management Plan (Nationwide) 4. On line survey of weed issues (Nationwide) --------------------------------------- 1. RJKOSE funding for 2001 (Nationwide) From: John Randall (jarandall(at)ucdavis.edu) TNC's Conservation Science Division is now asking for funding proposals under the popular Rodney Johnson and Katharine Ordway Stewardship Endowments (RJKOSE). RJKOSE funds are used to encourage scientific work of The Conservancy, especially in ecological restoration and management. The RJKOSE program is administered by TNC's Monitoring and Adaptive Management Program in Boise, Idaho. For more information, you can contact Tim Whittier (twhittier(at)tnc.org) or download the application form from the Wildland Invasive Species Team web site at: http://tncweeds.ucdavis.edu/newsnotes.html --------------------------------------- 2. National Wildlife Federation student funding (Nationwide) From: Kathy Cacciola (acciola(at)nwf.org) The National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology program is now accepting applications for Spring 2001 Fellowships! The Fellowship Program offers a nationally recognized opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to pursue their vision of an ecologically sustainable future. This may be a good program for TNC offices to back if they have a student working on good projects but need funding. Proposals are due 15 November. --------------------------------------- 3. Draft National Invasive Species Management Plan (Nationwide) From: Barry Rice (bamrice(at)ucdavis.edu) The highly publicized Draft National Invasive Species Management Plan, written by the National Invasive Species Council, has gone on line at http://www.invasivespecies.gov. From now until 16 November it is in a public input stage. --------------------------------------- 4. On line survey of weed issues (Nationwide) From: Terri Schulz (tschulz(at)tnc.org) (Terri forwarded us this message from Will Murray, TNC) TNC is engaged in a project to develop an organization-wide strategy for dealing with the threat posed by invasive alien species. We are gathering information about what people in TNC are doing, planning and thinking about invasive alien species. To make it easy on folks, we designed a short survey on a web page: http://www.sierrasite.com/impact/invasives/survey.htm Thanks for your help. |
