Dear Members of the Federal - State - Tribe American Ginseng Working Group,

We would like to ask for your assistance. As part of our work for the Outreach Working Group:

1. We are collecting information about the status of ginseng outreach that currently exists.

2. We would like to know what messages are important to communicate to key audiences.

3. Finally, we want to know what materials would help you do your work to communicate with ginseng stakeholders.

Please respond to the questionnaire below and make additions to the attached inventory spreadsheet. We value any input you have. Therefore, if you feel a certain question does not apply to your program, please do not feel obligated to answer it.

Please return the questionnaire and spreadsheet as attachments by email to [email protected] by December 3rd, 2017. Please feel free to call Debbie Gegare, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture (608) 224-5116, or Keri Parker (703) 258-3563 with questions or concerns.

We appreciate your time and consideration.
