I haven't posted anything in a while. Unfortunately my internet situation is rather sparce so I have not been able to do much with the Botanical Society website.

Otherwise, all is going pretty well. I am currently working on grant applications for a project next summer. I'm going to be surveying the flora of Little Duck Island off the coast of Maine. I'll post more about this project later.

Happy Holidays to everyone! I'll be in good email/blog contact starting in January.

Peacful winter solstice,

New Website

I have been playing around with trying to generate an adequate website for the COA Botanical Society.

Here is a link to what I have so far.      http://coabotanicalsociety.wordpress.com/

I wish I could have more free time so that I could really get good at Adobe Golive, and be able to make the website fully modifiable that way.

This is what I have for now.

How does this name sound?

College of the Atlantic Botanical Society

Botany Club: no meeting 6...

But this is all just for the build up that will lead to The Botany Club of COA: A place for plant enthusiasts of the MDI community to gather and enjoy botany through field excursions, Friends of the Herbarium meetings, potlucks, presentations, and other meaningful botanical events.

This is the preliminary, unrefined "mission" of the BCCOA. Maybe it should be called The COA Botanical Club? Please send me any suggestions!

Do not confuse this with the current botany club that has missed the past two meetings. This will hopefully become an official organization supported by COA and external donors that will also be open to the public. I have spoken to students and some faculty who have shown great interest for this.

I am currently working on designing a website that could hopefully be linked to the COA website. Will post more updates on this soon....
