| The
Bush FY09 budget as presented will wreak havoc on the operations of
the National Arboretum, with the likely outcome of abandoning or
reducing maintenance of important collections and closure to the
public of parts or all of the facilities. The doors to the
best bonsai collection in the United States owned by the people of the
United States, could be closed on the people of the United
States. For information
about this part of the budget and its anticipated effects see http://www.bonsai-nbf.org/site/whats_new.html.
Get mad; do something! Call or write your congressman. This is our collection. |
