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.

Yes!  ASHCVS 

my profile photo is the lust-worthy leaf of CDC which I took in the Seychelles.

Needless to say I’m a huge fan of Palm talk.

Congrats , Prez! Thank you for all you do for us palm folk. I have only recently found the forum in the last handful of years but have been growing and enjoying palms for about 35 years. I got introduced by a couple of IPS folks up here in Ventura when I visited Green Thumb nursery to buy a palm to plant near my pool in Santa Paula . I was hooked when I was told how many different varieties there are. This forum , with folks from all over the world , submit pictures and information about palms I have never heard of. Harry
