Final Release Webinar: An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply

Final Release Webinar: An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply

You are invited to a briefing on An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply: Final Report, prepared by an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The final report provides findings on public and private sector needs for the seeds of native plants for ecological restoration and other revegetation activities, and an assessment of the nation’s capacity to supply native seeds for multiple purposes. The report presents the results of two surveys, one of native seed suppliers and the other, of state departments of wildlife, parks, transportation, and agriculture. The report offers insights into the native needs uses of federal land-management agencies, tribal nations, and the private sector, and provides recommendations for improving the reliability, predictability, and performance of the native seed supply.

An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply: Final Report (2023)
