A call for papers has been announced in conjunction with our Annual Fall Symposium to be held in Austin on October 15-18, 2015.
Each fall the Native Plant Society of Texas holds a symposium and annual meeting in a different region of the state. In 2015 the symposium’s theme will be Capit-O-lize on Natives: Contributions, Challenges, Conservation and will concentrate on the four ecoregions that surround the Capitol (Post Oak Savannah, Blackland Prairies, Cross Timbers & Prairies, and Edwards Plateau) and the way these ecoregions have influenced adaptation and variance in plants and plant communities, as well as human interaction with the landscape. Authors are encouraged to submit papers on research related to these subjects, as well as topics of general interest to those who work with native plants in the region.
Notification of intent to submit a paper should be e-mailed to symposium@npsot.org no later than May 1. Please include the following information: paper’s title, a brief description (150 words or less), author’s name, brief biography and contact information, including daytime and evening phone numbers. The Fall Symposium Speakers’ Committee will review all proposals and notify authors by June 1 of their status, along with instructions for submission of their final papers. Final papers accepted for inclusion in the Symposium Proceedings will be due no later than August 1. Selected papers also may be chosen for oral presentation.
More details on the symposium will be released as they become known. The event will be held at the Austin Airport Hilton.
For information, Contact Jackie Davis, Fall Symposium Speakers’ Co-Chair, at jackietexnat@gmail.com, or symposium@npsot.org, or you may contact our State Office.
