[SOS-PCA] FEDERAL INPUT NEEDED // Reminder to submit projects to National Seed Strategy Report (Deadline Oct 12)

[Carr, Amanda (Mandie) N]

Have you submitted a project to the National Seed Strategy Report?

The Plant Conservation Alliance is seeking input for a national report on the state of U.S. efforts to use locally adapted plants for habitat restoration. While the National Seed Strategy is plant-focused, a wide range of projects are directly related to the development and use of native plant materials for restoration and rehabilitation. Here's a sample of the many topics relevant to the National Seed Strategy:

  *   Pollinators and Wildlife
  *   Disaster Recovery and Preparedness
  *   Fire and Drought
  *   Coastal and Riparian Areas
  *   Invasive Species
  *   Education and Outreach

Have more projects than time to submit them? Submitting even one or two projects will help enhance our understanding of how your team contributes to native plants and restoration!

Also consider submitting a summary of your larger effort or a story about your projects to the Success Stories/Lessons Learned<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfG3v_Yil51BVi0GQ4QyS0Erhydet0CYHOIAsxieZ_v7Z8oww/viewform>.

Or upload a photo<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-p9XZOuHuNatRof3oMwKniV7igch4uHjYPwwQfoxvVG07dg/viewform> to visually highlight your effort.

For more information, and to submit a project, visit the reporting portal<https://www.usgs.gov/center-news/national-seed-strategy-report>. Deadline to submit is October 12th.
