[PCA] Tools for Managing Native Plant Propagation (Greenhouses, etc.)

[rtaylor at refugeassociation.org]

I am working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service on a project aimed at restoring native plant communities at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. This restoration work requires propagation of a approximately 25 species of native plants -- involving seed collection and storage, grow out of seeds and cuttings in greenhouses, etc -- prior to out-planting at restoration sites. Managing the data associated with this process is a significant challenge, especially as we are interested not only in understanding our current greenhouse inventory, but also in tracking the success of various seed sources, propagation techniques, and out-planting methods over time. I am guessing that others in the restoration community have faced similar challenges and may have discovered good solutions (software, databases, spreadsheets, etc.) and I am very interested in hearing about them. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience!
