“Not
only is NAPPC focusing much needed attention on the critical
issue of pollinators in North America, but the manner in which they
approach the issue provides an important and useful model for
problem solving in the future.”
— Hon. Earl Blumenauer (U.S. House of Representatives, OR), at NAPPC’s US Botanic Garden Conservatory Pollinator Reception on October 8, 2003
