Native Plant Conservation Campaign News:  Please Tell the National Seed Strategy About Your Native Plant and Seed Needs - East of the Mississippi
March 2, 2018
 
From Seeds of Success East: 
The Seeds of Success East partnership is pleased to announce that our online survey of Native Plant and Seed Use in the Eastern United States is now open! Responses to this survey will help support the development of a native plant materials program based on the real-world needs of land managers, restoration ecologists, and other conservation/horticultural professionals.

This survey is open to all professionals who use native plants in the landscape, including individuals who are responsible for making purchasing decisions or procuring native plants and seeds. Our survey area includes all states located east of the Mississippi River.      
 
This survey supports Goal 1 of the National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration, which aims to “Identify seed needs, and ensure the reliable availability of genetically appropriate seed.”
 
By sharing information about your native plant and seed needs, you are helping us build a successful framework that puts  the right seed in the right place at the right time.
 
We appreciate all the work you do. Thank you in advance for your participation!
Please allow 10-15 minutes to complete the survey.
 
This survey was developed through a cooperative effort between Seeds of Success East and University of Maryland Extension.
