LA is a collaborative network of organizations with a mission to increase the
availability of locally adapted seeds to conserve and enhance the ecological
diversity of the greater Los Angeles area. This locally sourced seed, which
will be used to grow native plants for large, public urban greening efforts
adjacent to the Los Angeles River and throughout the region, will help ensure
sustainable, well-adapted public landscapes that support healthy habitats and
communities into the future. The Seed LA Coordinator will work closely with the
partnering institutions (California Botanic Garden, City Plants, Grown in LA,
LA Conservation Corps, North East Trees, Palos Verdes Peninsula Land
Conservancy, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, Theodore Payne
Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants, TreePeople) to lead the effort
in making high quality seed collections for the collaborative and to assist in
the advancement of our mission and goals. Seed LA recently entered into a
partnership with California State Parks and The Nature Conservancy to provide
locally sourced seeds and plants for The Bowtie Demonstration Project, in which
an undeveloped historical railyard along the Los Angeles River will be
transformed into a public green space focused on nature conservation and
education. The Seed LA Coordinator will assist with the coordination and
execution of Seed LA’s contributions to this project. If full-time employment
is preferred, the Seed LA Coordinator will also assist with other seed-related
projects for the California Botanic Garden.</span></p>
