Seed Collections for Conservation
Most people don’t think of seeds as living creatures, but that is exactly what they are! Humans have been collecting and saving seeds for thousands of years, and it’s vitally important that we as Texans utilize this timeless skill to help protect our nature heritage. Join Texas Parks and Wildlife Botanist Anna Strong, along with Minnette Marr (Conservation Botanist) and Andrew McNeil-Marshall (Arborist) from the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center as we learn about the best practices of creating seed and living collections for conservation purposes. Start making those seed collections today!
