Hello, my name is Andy Hurwitz I am excited to be the 26th president of the International Palm Society. I am also a daily reader on Palm talk. So it should not be a surprise that I have chosen to make sporadic announcements about the IPS here on our forum. Today I am thrilled to report that the IPS annual conservation initiative, Save the Species, achieved our donation goal for the fifth consecutive year! We collected over $25,000 in donations which will provide ample funding to repatriate Basselinia vestita in habitat in New Caledonia. I wish to thank each and every one of our PT community for their interest and donations. andy
