The next step of our Seed Resilience Project is setting up a pilot community seed bank and creating a network of people who are involved and skilled in the collection, storage and distribution of native seed. We need your input, so please join us for a discussion on how to achieve this!

What we will cover:

• Landcare Tasmania’s Seed Resilience project. What we have been doing and our future goals.
• Issues and barriers to sourcing native seed in Tasmania.
• Availability of native seed into the future and the impact of climate change.
• Commercial nurseries and how they are coping with sourcing native seed in Tasmania.
• Examples of past and potential solutions. Landcare case study.
