contact<BR>> info at the end of her e-mail.<BR>> <BR>> Hello,<BR>>
I'm trying to put together a paper on the benefits of using local<BR>>
genotype/ecotype seeds for restoration purposes (mostly prairie and<BR>>
wetland restoration); and was wondering if you could give some guidance
on<BR>> references or current pertinent research. Utilizing local genotype is
a<BR>> very important topic that needs more attention (there are
organizations<BR>> that promote natives, but shun local genotypes because
they reason that it<BR>> isn't cost-effective, which isn't necessarily true),
and was hoping to get<BR>> additional input on this subject.<BR>> Thank
you kindly,<BR>> Jessica Woo<BR>> <BR>> Earth Source, Inc.<BR>> Tel:
