<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is
soliciting proposals for the 2009 Native Plant Conservation Initiative (NPCI)
grants cycle. The NPCI grant program is conducted in cooperation with the Plant
Conservation Alliance (PCA), a partnership between the Foundation, ten federal
agencies, and more than 270 non-governmental organizations. PCA provides a
framework and strategy for linking resources and expertise in developing a
coordinated national approach to the conservation of native plants. Since
1995, the NPCI grant program has funded multi-stakeholder projects that focus on
the conservation of native plants and pollinators under any of the following 6
focal areas: conservation, education, restoration, research, sustainability, and
data linkages. </FONT>
