[RWG] New survey on restoration seed sourcing practices: participants wanted! (California and Midwest!)

[Rebecca Barak]

RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS NEEDED
For study of Native Seed Sourcing Practices for Restoration Planting
Purpose: To gather information from restoration practitioners on their organization's seed sourcing and procurement practices and identify factors that constrain their seed sourcing options. A better understanding of current seed sourcing choices and limitations will support goals of 1) creating more robust regional seed markets in the future and 2) improving restoration outcomes.
Who: Individuals aged 18 and above who work or volunteer for organizations that conduct restoration plantings with native plant materials in California and/or the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and/or Wisconsin).
What: One anonymized web-based survey (should take approximately 10 minutes)
