The Seeds of Success East partnership is pleased to announce that our
online survey of Native Plant and Seed Use in the Eastern United States
<https://survey.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cvcT61D5vRN5kEt> is still
open! If you have not already participated in this survey, please set aside
15 minutes to be included in this important effort!


Responses to this survey will help support the development of a native
plant materials program based on the real-world needs of land managers,
restoration ecologists, and other conservation/horticultural professionals.
The survey is *open to all professionals who use native plants in the
landscape*, including individuals who are responsible for making purchasing
decisions or procuring native plants and seeds. Our survey area includes *all
states located east of the Mississippi River. *

Thank you in advance for your participation! Please respond by Friday,

genetically appropriate seed.” By sharing information about your native
plant and seed needs, you are helping us build a successful framework that
puts *the right seed in the right place at the right time*.
