[ECOLOG-L] NATIONAL NATIVE SEED CONFERENCE - EARLY REGISTRATION ENDING
Register by this Friday, April 16, and save $45 on your registration for the National Native Seed Conference: Native Plant Materials Development, Production Use in Habitat Restoration http://www.nativeseed.info/registration.html Conference speakers and titles of presentations are now available on the conference website. We have a great lineup - take a look for yourself: http://www.nativeseed.info/program.html Field trips are filling up, but there's still space to attend both the Milford Flat Fire Rehab and the Common Gardens Seed Facilities field trips. Reserve your space today! http://www.nativeseed.info/field_trips.html POSTERS STILL ACCEPTED Use this opportunity to share your work with a national audience through a poster presentation. The poster session promises to be a great, informal venue to interact with professionals working on all aspects of native seed development and use. Don't miss this opportunity to showcase your efforts and forge new connections with conference attendees! http://www.nativeseed.info/posters.html SRM CEUs The National Native Seed Conference has been approved for 16 Continuing Education Units by the Society for Range Management. Certified professionals may pick up signed attendance certification forms at the meeting. Spring skiing! Snowbird still has great snow and lifts will be open weekends before and after the conference on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Rooms are offered to conference attendees at conference rates of $99 for these dates - so come early or stay late!

[ECOLOG-L] National Native Seed Conference
NATIONAL NATIVE SEED CONFERENCE May 17-21, 2010 Snowbird, Utah http://www.nativeseed.info Restoration and rehabilitation projects require native seed. The National Native Seed Conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum to discuss the latest research and issues facing land managers pertaining to the selection, production, and use of native seed. * Genetics Seed Transfer Zones * Strategies for Climate Change * Species Selection * Seed Collection * Testing Development * Seed Production * Successfully Using Native Seed for Restoration Rehabilitation * Local and Regional Plant Materials Programs The conference will feature oral and poster presentations, workshops, and field trips. 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.

My supervisor, Dr. Lindsey Milbrath and I are developing a biological control program for the exotic invasive swallow-worts, Vincetoxicum rossicum and V. nigrum. In preparation for assessing the host range of potential arthropod control agents for the swallow-worts, we are accumulating related plant species (nearly 60 species is our goal). I have included the list of specific species relevant to our current efforts. We are willing to accept all forms of live plant tissue whether it be whole plants, vegetative cuttings for propagation or recently collected seed. Your assistance is greatly appreciated to any extent you can offer. Perhaps there are seed purveyors and or colleagues that come to mind that you might refer us to?
