Woody species seed banking subcommittee meeting
November 18 @ 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
Join us to get the ball rolling on thinking through the details of woody species seed collection. Below is an outline of what I think the lingering questions are. If these issues seem important to you please consider joining us!
Here’s what I think we need to know/discuss:
-
What is the outlook for seed demand over the next 1 year/5 years?
-
Measure in number of plants/species?
-
How much seed would it take to produce that number of plants?
-
-
What businesses/organizations/
entities are contributing to that demand? -
Is there an efficient way to centralize the seed collection to meet most of the local demand?
-
Is this desirable for all/most parties?
-
How would this be funded?
-
-
Who would do the actual scouting/collection?
-
How much labor would it require?
-
Any opportunity for, or interest in, volunteer events?
-
Understory may be interested in this, or we could hire a separate contractor.
-
-
Where would seed be stored?
-
Who would use the seed?
-
How would the seed be divided and distributed?
