Naples
Orchid Society,
USA - The Naples Orchid Society offers a $2000 annual scholarship to be
awarded to a qualified student pursuing a program in Botany,
Conservation or Environmental Science.
Naples Orchid Society scholarship
recipients Crystal Elliott and Adam Zindel and their professor, Dr.
Larry Zettler from Illinois College at Jacksonville, Illinois recieved
money for research work that may have benefits for Florida’s wild
native orchids as well as domesticated hybrid plants grown by hobby and
commercial growers. "Last year, a small parasite was discovered in some
of the scale insects’ bodies. This may have great implications for
biological controls of the armored scales.” said Dr. Richard Pippen,
member of the NOS Board and Scholarship Committee chairperson. “Dr.
Zettler has
urged NOS to be aware that SW Florida is a crucial area for the huge
number and diversity of species of America’s native orchids in the
wild. The research that is going on here will have an impact on orchids
on an international level.” More information: https://www.naplesorchidsociety.org/

Orchid Seedbank Project serves as a clearinghouse for orchid seed; until the OSP was formed in December of 1996, there was no central clearinghouse by which conservationists, researchers, commercial and hobbyist growers could go to specifically for orchid seed.

and Carol SteeleArt for Orchids Orchids are emblematic of the fragility of nature, and through my paintings, I hope to reach out to raise awareness of how much more needs to be done to protect species and the environments in which they survive. I would like to see proceeds of my work going directly into orchid conservation projects around the world.
