A preliminary program is available at the conference website http://www.nativeseed.info This conference presents a unique opportunity to meet and share ideas with people across the nation working on plant materials development. What seed should I use on my project? How can I find seed? Should I collect my own? How local is local? How can native seed be more available and affordable? Are cultivars appropriate for restoration or rehabilitation? What are the implications of climate change for restoration practices and native seed selection? Join us in Snowbird to discuss these questions, and so much more.
