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.
