NASC: Who is willing to help work this project
- Thread starter PlantAKiss
- Start date
Big space in time since someone has added to this thread, but here you go.
My name is Jason Hupp, and I am a trained botanist/ecologist working on a graduate degree in plant eco-physiology. I have experince working as a field botanist with SREL and in herbarium maintance. I also have a background in geograpphic information systems, particularly landscape ecology (ie predicting the location of plant comunities based on various spatial datasets). If you think I can help let me known.

My name is Jonathan Treffkorn, I live in California, right by the ocean, so the location is great for growing CPs. I'm a Junior in highschool (well, in a few week's time), working on entering the field of biology, particularly, botany. I am a hard and dedicated worker, I love CPs (but I suppose thats obvious for everyone who posts here), and besides the rest of the obvious stuff, I'm willing to put in the time to work (which will be much more pleantiful after this year) and I've been growing CP's since third grade. That's all that I can think of right now, and I suppose that I can't do much at the current moment, but right now I can do things in California that need doing, and as I am the CP community in my area, I have been introducing people the people of my community to the CP world. I'm nothing special right now, but I'm an extra pair of hands, craving no be more active in the CP community, I love to learn, and I'm willing to dedicate my time to boot!

Stay chooned in for more!
i read the statement and would love to help out. tell me what i can do, suzanne! i have plenty of growspace and i've had experiance in bog raids to rescue cp's from development. i'm experianced at growing cp's and i have the time to do whatever i can to help out. i live in GA which is the pefect climate to grow sarracenia and i can give away tons of seed next year.

God must have an interesting sense of humor
I don't know for sure if this has been taken, I know scotty said he would keep track of who has what plants and where they are. I could( I think I can, if not I can always get help) keep track of the mailing list(e-mail)/members of the NSCA. People who want to join and such would contact me via e-mail and eventually through the website. I could also keep track of when current members lose their status of member and thus delete them off the mailing list.

Names Danny Beane, age 19, been a while since I have been into this part of the forum. However I currently work at the Ohio State Ornamental Plant Germplasm center where I have developed the following skills
Pollination
Seed Collection
Propigation
Seed Cleaning
by the end of this year I might have tissue culture experience. Anyways I currently won't be able to help much until summer when I get back home where I have open space. I am currently planning on building several propigation shelves to see how quickly and effectively Sarracenia leaf cuttings/pullings are at rapidly producing plants. I won't be able to work at optimum efficiency until next fall though when I moveout of my dorm and into my house and am ableto turn my basement into a propigation/storage room plus live close to work. Currently I am only useful for moral support til next year. I have also been pestering the people at where I work that there is just as great of a needtoprotect Sars as there is to protect pelargoniums tagetes rudbeckia etc...

I offered awhile back to take charge of compiling the "NASC list of plants in collections"..
but im not sure if that is still needed or not, because that would fall under the webpage construction I would think..
If someone is still needed to put that list together I will do it!
then I guess it could be simply added to the NASC webpage when that is up and running.
im thinking we need a list of every plant that fits the criteria, in people's collections.
Persons name, location, plant name and location plant was collected from.
We only care about plants that have REAL CONFIRMED locations!
We cant do anything with Judith Hindle from Home depot!
(not that its not a great plant!
But we need real, confirmed "in the wild" locations that these plants are from to make this meaningfull..
and please be VERY HONEST about the plant's location data!
just guessing would be very very bad..would mess up everything. if you arent 101% certain that your plant is absolutely from the stated location, dont include it..
Which means that currently NO plants in my collection will be included in the NASC database!
(well..I do have some seeds from ICPS that have sprouted..those would work because the locations the seeds were collected from are indicated by ICPS..)
as for YOUR personal location, I dont think we would want everyone's real name and city listed..So we could be vague.
"Scot Lawrence, Western NY" or something like that..
do what you feel comfortable with to keep your collection location hidden enough..if people want to trade with you can make the judgement call then..
or..maybe we dont need to indicate OUR location at all??
just a name alone is probably fine.
Maybe an officer of the NASC can keep a master list of people's real names and contact information, but that info wont need to be public..
ok, so is this list still something the society needs done?
Or is someone else already compiling that list?

Far too old to grow up now.
Better late than never I suppose.
Not in the U.S. anymore, and I couldn't offer offer much grow space anyway but I think I can still help.
One former freelance writer and soon to be DMA graduate at your service. Trained/ing in everything from print design to corporate image management with mutimedia developement thrown in too. I am by no means a "front-end" PR person but I make sure all the tools (Printed Material, CD-ROM/DVD Presentations and Interactives, Informational Graphics, and all things related to Branding and Public Recognition) that back up the PR face are functional, acturate, message oriented, and just plain look good. Oh, and I can write too!
If you ever have need of my services don't hesitate to ask.

The advent of the new auction has made me (and i'm sure others) wonder what has been done with the proceeds from last year. I imagine some accounting of that would probably help encourage bidding this year, and just generally be good form.
I've not played any role in this project yet, and don't have a lot of time to do so, but the NECPS has a similar mission statement and i already maintain the webpage for it, so if you want a webmaster, i will help. I'm not sure if you already have a webpage or not- browsing the few threads that seemed relevant didn't turn up an answer. Adding a NASC-relevant extension to the present NECPS webpage would be easy. As is obvious, i don't really have any design skills, but i am very computer savvy and good at English composition.
The hosting we have is donated by a member, so i'd have to get permission to add NASC to the hosted site, but the design work i can offer with no strings.
For the NECPS site (and the CP world in general) i am working on an overhaul to the unfinished trade feature that will be based on what i envision as the be-all, end-all CP species collective database/growlist/tradelist manager. Once that is finished, it would be relatively easy to add all the (unconfidential) data for the locales and varieties of Sarracenia to the public database, and that way it would help bring coherence to the state of Sarr collections. (And no one would have to turn into Darth Vader in the process)

Hi All,
I live in MI and I am interested in helping however I can.
Skills: For what its worth I have a technical background and have been involved with engineering, project management and sales most of my carreer so the usual skills that go with that type of work is what I can bring to the table. If anyone wants greater detail, PM me.
Thanks
Glenn
