[APWG] Survey OPPTY: Midwest Native Seed Network survey for Midwest land managers

[Krone, Elizabeth C]

Survey for land managers that work with native seed in the Midwest

Please see below for a survey request from the Midwest Native Seed Network (https://midwestseednetwork.org/), a newly forming coalition of organizations and individuals working to increase availability of native seeds across the region. To address gaps in species and source availability, this region-wide survey asks land managers which species are missing from their restorations and why.

If you work with native seed in the Midwest, they would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Your response to this ~15-minute survey will help guide strategy on building sources of foundation seed & production capacity, as well as develop research to improve availability and establishment of these 'gap' species. Please also feel free to forward this survey along to your own network, they'd like to get as many respondents as possible.

*Please find the survey here: https://forms.gle/VB6bVvPPg6eGUk4o8

In the survey, respondents are asked to list their top 10 priority species they are unable to obtain or have trouble establishing at sites, as well as a few questions at the end for folks doing their own production.

*If respondents have more than 10 species to list, please


  1.  download a spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/mwchu9sb
  2.  complete spreadsheet and email to Chris Woolridge at: cwoolridge at chicagobotanic.org

This survey will be left open through December, and additional reminders will be sent as fall and winter approach. Multiple replies are encouraged, so you can add species that are on your mind right now and then more in the fall as you prepare your seed mixes.
