Monday, July 14 at 7:30 pm
The California Seed Strategy was initiated in June 2022 to improve availability of locally and genetically appropriate native seeds for ecological restoration in California. CNPS led a steering committee to publish the Strategy in December 2023 and is now in the implementation phase. CNPS is facilitating five new regional working groups with over 200 participants overall to share information and resources across organizational boundaries and within ecological boundaries. A Seed Transfer Advisory Group made up of California plant genetics and seed-based restoration subject matter experts was formed to help develop recommendations to protect local genetic diversity.
Caroline Martorano is the Stewardship Specialist for the California Native Plant Society and is a coordinator for the California Native Seed Strategy.
