The Morton Arboretum and BGCI hosted a very productive kick-off meeting for the U.S. Region of the Global Conservation Consortium for Oak (GCCO). Over 60 people from across the U.S. (and five other countries) attended the two-day virtual conference on May 28th and 29th, 2020. Invited speakers provided important context for the state of oak conservation in the U.S., and sub-regional group discussions sparked many ideas for new research and conservation projects.
Botanic Gardens Conservation International’s work aims to promote and develop a more efficient, cost effective and rational approach to plant conservation in botanic gardens. We will do this by leading and advocating, leading innovative and strategic projects, building plant conservation capacity, and providing funding.
BGCI is an independent organisation registered in the United Kingdom as a charity (Charity Reg. No. 1098834) and a company limited by guarantee (No. 4673175).
