National Seed Strategy

Join the Plant Conservation Alliance virtual meeting on Sept. 13th. @JulieELarson, Postdoctoral Research Ecologist, USDA-ARS, will discuss "The relevance of seed and seedling traits in applied restoration, and what restoration can teach us about Diversity & Inclusion efforts".

Skilled and mindful native seed collection is at the core of the restoration of many Western landscapes. Watch “Collection” - a new episode in the series, Native Seeds: Supplying Restoration, today at ser-insr.org/native-seed-fi….

SER-INSR is hosting a webinar on August 31, to discuss the production of the nine-part video series from both a scientific and cinematographic perspective and share stories of this incredible journey. Register: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Native Seeds: Supplying Restoration tells the story of the people working to scale up the supply of native seeds to meet the growing restoration demand. Watch a new episode each week starting 6/29 on ser-insr.org/native-seed-fi….

Next Wednesday, May 10th, join us to hear about "The Southeastern Plant Conservation Alliance (SE PCA) and the development of the nation’s 1st Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) for plants" from @AtlBotanical staff. More information on our PCA Meetings page.

Join the Plant Conservation Alliance at the March 8th virtual meeting! Dr. Tanisha Williams, Postdoctoral Fellow in Botany at Bucknell University, will discuss "Protecting rare and endangered plants through university and governmental partnerships ". RSVP plantconservationalliance.org/meetings

Our new report concludes that the current supply of #NativeSeeds is insufficient to meet demands for ecological restoration and other revegetation efforts. Read our recommendations for building a more robust native seed supply and industry: ow.ly/354S50MBbOr

Ecological #restoration and other #revegetation activities are dependent on #NativeSeeds. Learn recommendations from our new report on improving the reliability, predictability, and performance of the native seed supply at our January 26 webinar: ow.ly/ZuI250Mwa8B

You’re invited! Next Thursday, please join the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine for a briefing on An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply: Final Report. Register at the link: nationalacademies.org/event/01-26-20…

Join the Plant Conservation Alliance at their November 9th virtual meeting where we welcome speaker Chef Sean Sherman, Founder / CEO Chef, The Sioux Chef and co-founder of nātifs.org, who will discuss "Re-establishing Native foodways". RSVP: plantconservationalliance.org/meetings

The Plant Conservation Alliance is at the @naturalareas #NAC22. Stop by to say "hi" and learn about the National Seed Strategy!

Happy #EarthDay! 🌎 We are so excited that President Biden’s New Executive Order includes a call to expand seed and nursery capacity. Read the Fact Sheet here: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… #NativePlants #NativeSeed #SeedNeeds #PlantConservationAlliance #GenerationRestoration

It's #NationalNativePlantMonth! We need native plants to address the climate and extinction crisis. What do native plants need? Native seed. Learn more at blm.gov/seedstrategy #NativePlants #NativeSeed #SeedNeeds #PlantConservationAlliance #GenerationRestoration

Only through continued collaboration can we develop enough locally adapted native seed to combat the climate crisis go.usa.gov/xMvtA #NationalSeedStrategy #PlantConservationAlliance #GenerationRestoration #RestorationEconomy #NatureBasedSolutions #NativePlants #NativeSeed

The right seed in the right place at the right time takes strategic planning. Find out how: go.usa.gov/xMvtA #NationalSeedStrategy #PlantConservationAlliance #GenerationRestoration #RestorationEconomy #NatureBasedSolutions #NativePlants #NativeSeed

Native plants are nature-based solutions and the true green infrastructure that support water, wildlife, and our quality of life. The right seed at the right place at the right time takes strategic planning. ow.ly/co6O50Hcq1B.
