 jointly by the Wenatchee Valley Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Soc
 iety and the Wenatchee River Institute.\n\nDoors open at 6:30pm for a comm
 unity social with beer and wine available for purchase. The presentation w
 ill start at 7:00pm.\n\nPermanently protected areas\, such as National and
  State parks\, Wilderness Areas\, and nature preserves are often selected 
 because of their aesthetic appeal or historical and recreational value to 
 humans\, rather than their biological attributes.  As a result\, there can
  be a mismatch between protected lands and where important elements of bio
 logical diversity occur\, especially for rarer species with limited ranges
  or specialized habitats.  Gap Analysis is an analytical tool developed in
  the late 1980s to assess how well species or vegetation communities are r
 epresented in the network of protected lands in a state or nation (i.e. “g
 aps”).  Gap studies can be valuable to identify particular species and hab
 itat types that are absent or inadequately represented in the existing sys
 tem of protected areas to then identify new protected areas that might fil
 l those holes.  I will discuss the use of gap methods to assess the protec
 ted status of rare plants in Washington and how it might be applied to all
  plant species\, as was done in Wyoming.  \n\nWalter Fertig is the collect
 ions manager of the Marion Ownbey Herbarium at Washington State University
  in Pullman and was formerly the state botanist for the Washington and Wyo
 ming natural heritage programs.
