[SOS-PCA] Survey on seed banking goals and practices: Seeking participants!

[Rebecca Barak]

Hello,


We are seeking participants for a survey on seed banking goals and practices in the United States, focused on banking native seed for conservation and restoration.

Purpose: To gather information from seed banks on their goals and practices for seed collection, testing, and storage. We hope to better understand the diversity of seed banks and seed banking practices across the United States.

Who: Seed banks in the United States. Ideally we would receive one response per seed bank from the individual that works most closely on seed banking activities. Seed banks of any size are welcome to participate.

What: One web-based survey (should take approximately 10 minutes)

Please take the survey and share with relevant colleagues. If you do not work with a seed bank, we would greatly appreciate your help in connecting us with a seed bank or seed bank professionals in your network by sharing the survey with them.

This survey was created by Sarah Hollis, a master's student in Plant Biology and Conservation at Northwestern University and the Chicago Botanic Garden, and Dr. Becky Barak in partnership with the Standards and Practices and Liaison subcommittees of the National Association for Restoration Seed Banks. For any questions related to the survey, please reach out to Sarah at shollis at chicagobotanic.org<mailto:shollis at chicagobotanic.org>.
