Title: "Banking Seeds to Support Species Survival in the Wild: Ex Situ Plant Conservation at the Berry Botanic Garden"

Speaker: Ed Guerrant, PhD

Abstract: This seminar provides an overview of the Berry Botanic Garden seed bank and associated research regarding plant conservation efforts in Oregon and around the world. The mission of the Berry Botanic Garden Conservation Program is to provide comprehensive off-site conservation resources in support of habitat-based conservation efforts in the Pacific Northwest. Working in partnership with public agencies and private groups the garden collects rare native plant seeds, stores viable samples and, when necessary, uses the samples to establish new populations or increase the size or genetic diversity of existing populations.

Brief Bio: Ed Guerrant holds a PhD in Botany from the University of California at Berkeley, and has been Conservation Director at the Berry Botanic Garden for over 20 years.
