FREE Federal Seed Collection Training 
Seeds of Success (SOS) is the national native seed collection program, led by the Bureau of Land Management in partnership with a variety of federal agencies and non-federal organizations. SOS’s mission is to collect wildland native seed for research, conservation, and ecosystem restoration. 
On April 29-30, SOS is holding a two-day training event for BLM employees as well as interested members of the public. This Seed Collecting for Conservation and Restoration training will cover many topics, including the history and role of the Plant Conservation and Restoration Program and SOS, the importance and uses of native plants, an overview of the SOS seed collection protocol, seed biology and long-term storage considerations, native plant taxonomy review, field preparedness and post-collection seed care. Total 10 hours of training.
