Hi Kimberly,

I just thought I'd give you some follow-up information for the NAPPC
list on this article sent by Peter Kevan.

1) Here is the article reference: Dyer, Jim, 2004. Bug lovers wanted.
The Blazing Star - Newsletter of the North American Native Plant Society
(Spring). 5(2): 3.

2) The program is being delivered and supported by Environment Canada's
EMAN Coordinating Office and Seeds of Diversity Canada. This summer, we
have continued our pilot activities, though have revised and updated
most of the material. There is now a Web site (www.pollinationcanada.ca)
with all of the relevant material and information for observers.

3) We intend to present the findings of the pilot program at the meeting
of the Canadian Pollination Initiative (provisional name) in Ottawa in
January. This will be a great chance to receive input and feedback from
experts, as well as raise the profile of the program.
