* Species Selection<br>
* Seed Collection<br>
* Testing & Development<br>
* Seed Production<br>
* Successfully Using Native Seed for Restoration & Rehabilitation<br>
* Local and Regional Plant Materials Programs<br>

The conference will feature oral and poster presentations, workshops,<br>
and field trips. A preliminary program is available at the conference<br>
website <a href="http://www.nativeseed.info/" target="_blank">http://www.nativeseed.info</a><br>
<br>
This conference presents a unique opportunity to meet and share ideas<br>
with people across the nation working on plant materials development.<br>
<br>
What seed should I use on my project?<br>
How can I find seed? Should I collect my own?<br>
How local is local?<br>
How can native seed be more available and affordable?<br>
Are cultivars appropriate for restoration or rehabilitation?<br>
What are the implications of climate change for restoration practices<br>
and native seed selection?<br>
<br>
Join us in Snowbird to discuss these questions, and so much more.<br>
