Due to responses to the Corona Virus Pandemic, the conference is cancelled. Rescheduling in November is under consideration.
In the interest of protecting public health and safety, conference organizers decided to cancel the Montana Plant Conservation Conference.
Conference registration payments will be refunded. If you paid via PayPal, your credit card will be reimbursed. If you paid by check, your check or a refund will be sent to you. If you made lodging accommodations only for the purpose of this conference, then be sure to cancel your reservation.
Given that Monitoring the Effects of Climate Change is another important topic, we are looking to re-schedule the conference, possibly for November. Updates will be posted here.
We hope that you can join us later and apologize for any inconvenience.
We encourage people to become familiar with the current CDC Prevention Guidance:
