2021年7月简报
The Center for Plant Conservation is a community of practice – collectively working to improve best practices and support on-the-ground actions that 保存植物. 在这个问题上, 我们很高兴欢迎并展示三家新的植物保护伙伴加入我们的网络: 佛罗里达 Native Plant Society, Mattole Restoration Council, Mt. 古巴中心. 现在有68个成员, the CPC network brings together plant conservationists from across North America and is strengthened by the knowledge 和经验 each institution brings. 作为一个社区，我们共同努力支持我们的重要使命:拯救植物. One avenue of support is the Rare Plant Academy forum，会员可就紧迫的保育问题提出查询和解答. 另一个支持的途径是我们的工厂赞助计划, which in this issue features the coastal sage scrub oak, Quercus dumosa. 在国家办公室，我们向所有人表示感谢和最良好的祝愿.

中国共产党主席 & 首席执行官Welcome to CPC: New Participating Institutions
The Center for Plant Conservation is pleased to welcome three new plant conservation organizations to our network of Particpating Institutions: 佛罗里达 Native Plant Society, Mattole Restoration Council, Mt. 古巴中心. 现在有68个成员, the CPC network brings together plant conservationists from across North America and is strengthened by the knowledge 和经验 that each institution brings. Together, our network makes it possible to 保存植物.
佛罗里达 Native Plant Society
The 佛罗里达 Native Plant Society (FNPS), with 33 local chapters across the state, works for the statewide conservation, 保存, 以及佛罗里达原生植物和原生植物群落的恢复. Collections of cuttings and seeds of native plants maintained by FNPS are used for population introductions in plant restoration projects on public lands. Through land acquisition and extensive partnerships, FNPS protects and preserves native species in their natural habitats and aids the 佛罗里达 Department of Environmental Protection in land 管理ment reviews of the state’s conservation lands. 从FNPS的土地所有权中受益的一种是佛罗里达州的clasping warea (Warea amplexifolia), 一种稀有濒危植物，生长在由FNPS和附近合作伙伴(私人土地所有者和本地土地保护机构)拥有的土地上.
与当地社区接触，鼓励私人保护努力，并支持科学研究, FNPS资助年度保护和研究奖助金，并主持了40年的年度会议，有演讲者, 研讨会, 实地考察旅行, 和更多的. 以及保护研究和植物保护项目, FNPS还致力于制定保护政策，旨在在未来几年保护佛罗里达的本土物种. 对该州的原生植物群落充满热情, FNPS envisions a future where Floridians and visitors alike know about and value 佛罗里达’s extraordinary native flora and native plant communities, 哪些对支持野生动物和人类的健康生态系统至关重要.

Mattole Restoration Council
Since its founding in 1983, the Mattole Restoration Council (MRC) has been devoted to the restoration and conservation of the Mattole Watershed with the goal to protect and maintain healthy natural systems and native species populations through its ecosystem restoration projects. MRC’s Native Plant Nursery collects native plant seeds and propagates native species for installation on restoration sites and for sale to the general public, with the capacity to propagate up to 200,000种植物. 除了储存和繁殖原生植物, MRC还负责监督入侵物种的清除，并与土地管理局合作，在整个地区收集本地种子.
在国王山脉国家保护区及其附近工作, MRC’s conservation efforts encompass a largely under-studied region of the California coast and provide a promising path to a future where the Mattole Watershed species thrive. Since beginning to gather seed in the 1980’s, MRC从马托尔流域和国王山脉地区开发了超过120种本土物种，令人印象深刻. 与其他当地保护和教育团体合作, MRC代表国王山脉联盟的一个重要组成部分, restoring the Mattole Watershed and surrounding ecosystems.
Mt. 古巴中心
Nestled within the Eastern Temperate Forest, Mt. 古巴中心占地1083英亩，是中大西洋本土物种的天堂. 其根源可以追溯到1935年的一个私人庄园和花园. 古巴中心用历史悠久的花园来庆祝它的遗产，这里的植物深受原主人的喜爱, 科普兰家族. In 2002, the iconic gardens opened to the public, 结合本地植物花园和保护土地与现有的历史花园. Mt. 古巴中心的存在是为了他们的创始使命, 鼓励游客探索该地区的原生植物，并自己成为保护者. 通过开放的花园和步道以及用于教育的自然区域来实现这一使命, 科学, conservation purposes, as well as programs integrating citizen 科学 efforts.
此外,太. 古巴中心 pursues conservation activities that resonate beyond its gates and its own organization by embracing opportunities to collaborate with professional peers. Mt. 古巴中心’s greenhouse is involved in rigorous studies to determine how to propagate difficult or underutilized plants so they can be re-established in the natural landscape. 几个温室项目正在与各机构的合作者进行中, including plant production for habitat restoration. By providing fellowships and funding plant research, Mt. 古巴中心投资特拉华州本土物种的未来, 确保它们得到保护，并为这些植物的繁茂生长铺平道路.
通过植物赞助支持我们的实践社区
The Center for Plant Conservation’s plant sponsorship program is an essential component of our work – fueling our community of practice by ensuring our network of Participating Institutions have the resources and funds needed to 保存植物.
当参与机构接受对某一植物物种的责任时 中国共产党国家集合 – a living conservation collection of imperiled plants that serves as an emergency backup in the event a species becomes extinct or no longer reproduces in the wild – it makes a long-term commitment to help secure and recover the species for future generations. 他们投入了大量的爱赢平台app和精力来保护和保存危险的植物材料, 以最佳方式推动研究和新技术的发展, 管理, restore these rare species.
To offset some of the expenses of collecting, 日益增长的, researching these species, CPC创建了植物赞助计划，提供参与机构负责命名的物种, 稳定的, stable funding for the long-term work. A sponsorship does not cover all the expenses, but it provides significant help and stability, 并对植物保护工作具有关键和持久的影响. 植物赞助也是一种有意义的方式来纪念所爱的人.
我很难过地告诉我的CPC网络，我的姐夫和姐姐都在过去的13个月里去世了. As the person responsible for handling their affairs, 我想不出比赞助植物更好的方式来纪念他们的遗产. I selected the coastal sage scrub oak, Quercus dumosa, 因为它是圣地亚哥县的一种物种，支持着一个广泛的社区, as Joe Ree elegantly describes in this newsletter.
我的姐夫简·纽森·施密特(Jan Newsom Schmidt)在Rite-Aid做了30多年的药剂师. A lover of classical music, 寿司, 雪茄, 和一杯好啤酒, Jan settled in San Diego County and helped many in need. 我的妹妹, Susan Carol Maschinski Schmidt, oversaw pupil services for the South Bay School District – caring for students with special needs and bringing together community services into a hub that easily supported families and children. 她最优秀的品质之一是她充满活力、不屈不挠的精神和杰出的领导才能. CPC reaped the rewards of her wisdom.
In lieu of perishable flower arrangements, 希望纪念苏珊和简·施密特的朋友们——并为拯救濒危植物做出持久的影响(Quercus dumosa) – can make a donation online at www.www.mihirgajrawala.com (choose dedicated donation, in memory of and indicate your intention for the gift in the notes section) or mail a donation to the Center for Plant Conservation at 15600 San Pasqual Valley Road, 埃斯孔迪多, CA 92027.
Safeguarding the Coastal Sage Scrub Oak
从沿海的砂岩悬崖到内陆丘陵之间的沟壑, life flourishes where the coastal sage scrub oak (Quercus dumosa)的增长. 在夏天，它的树枝可以遮挡太阳的强烈光线，也可以抵御冬天刺骨的寒风. 橡树的根为了寻找地下蓄水层而深深扎根, 汲取重要的水分，让自己和其他植物在旱季存活下来. 树根组成的网络牢牢地抓住土壤，防止了令人窒息的尘雾的产生.
因为珊瑚礁为海洋中众多的生命创造了家园, 陆地上优雅的海岸鼠尾草灌木橡树也是如此. 动植物栖息在它们的树干之间或树枝之间. 蔓生的藤蔓紧紧抓住橡树的树枝，向太阳伸展. 鸟儿在树枝间飞来飞去寻找昆虫和筑巢的材料时，会发出叫声. Lizards shuffle through piles of fallen leaves, hiding from the searching eyes of camouflaged roadrunners. 在最高的树上，一只游隼站岗哨兵，扫视着它的领地. 每一次微风，风都带来了被太阳晒焦的土地和野花的气味.
尽管许多植物物种帮助形成了这个生命丰富的环境, 沿海的鼠尾草灌丛橡树是其他物种赖以生存的重要而濒危的基石. 沿海鼠尾草灌丛橡树目前存在于许多分散的种群中, all facing pressure from wildfire, 疾病, 气候变化, 和人类扩张.
尽管这些威胁在可预见的未来仍将继续, 我们现在有几种爱赢平台app可以缓解沿海鼠尾草灌丛橡树的压力. Tissue culture – the 科学 of cultivating plants under aseptic conditions in sealed jars – can keep samples of these trees alive and isolated from environmental pressures. By pairing it with cryo保存, 树木组织可以长期保存在液氮中，直到解冻, 成长, 并在适当的时间和地点回到环境中.
With the help of these technologies, 我们可以确保沿海的鼠尾草橡树能够世世代代生存下去.
