Seeds are key for restoring our ecosystems and adding native plants to our yards. As diverse as our native plants are, they are equally diverse in how they disperse their seeds. We'll look at different approaches for seed collection, equipment, and techniques to clean that seed, and sowing to get the best results out of those seeds. 

Presented by Luke Dahlberg, Native Seed Program Manager at Citizens for Conservation.
