natural landscapes after wildland fires, hurricanes, droughts, floods, and other natural disasters, and damage caused by invasive species. The demand for native plant seeds is coming from the public and private sectors to support wildlife; to redress the impacts
of man-made disturbances and, for “green” infrastructure and urban landscaping. </span><span style="color: rgb(35, 35, 51); font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; font-size: 11pt;">The
first goal of the National Seed Strategy (developed by the Plant Conservation Alliance and through an MOU of 12 federal agencies) is to assess the national public and private demand for native plants, and the existing and potential capacity to supply them.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study is in the first phase of a two-part project to provide the holistic view needed to put the nation’s native seed supply on a more solid foundation. In the next phase, input from organizations
(states, land trusts, non-profits) that needs seeds for ecological restoration is needed. This presentation will aim to make the case for getting those entities to participate in the assessment.</span></span><br>
