In their November 2014 board meeting, the Board of Directors decided to give a $1,000 Mission Grant to Jennifer Ackerfield’s new Flora of Colorado. Jennifer has been working on this book for twelve years and it is the first full flora since Harrington’s in the 1940’s. She is in the process of raising funds for its publication. A story about her work, Writing a Flora was written by Mo Ewing in the Conservation Corner column of Aquilegia.
