SUMMARY:Time to Restore: Connecting People\, Plants\, and Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:The Time to Restore project\, led by the USA-NPN and covering Texas\, New Mexico\, Oklahoma\, and Louisiana\, seeks to generate better information about nectar availability and seed timing to help those working on pollinator restoration know what to plant and when to harvest seeds. \n\n\n\nHelp shape this important project! In this free\, two-hour virtual workshop\, you will learn more about the Time to Restore project\, weigh in on the best plant species to target for ongoing monitoring and assessment in Texas\, help generate ideas for recruitment and engagement of volunteer data collectors\, and give your input on how the data collected by this project can be best presented back to those working on pollinator restoration. \n\n\n\nRegistration opens here August 1\, 2024 \n\n\n\nTwo options for your participation: \n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, August 21\, 2024\, 9:30 – 11:30 am CT\n\n\n\nSaturday\, August 24\, 2024\, 9:30 – 11:30 am CT

SUMMARY:Seed Longevity Study: How long do seeds live in conservation seed banks?
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for Plant Conservation as they explore the results of an in-depth assessment of germination viability\, RNA integrity\, and lipid biophysics in 100 wild rare plant species. This 90-minute\, free webinar will feature informative presentations followed by ample time for live audience Q&A. \n\n\n\nWednesday\, August 21\, 20242:00-3:30 PM Eastern / 11:00 AM-12:30 PM Pacific. \n\n\n\nRegistration: https://saveplants.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5111078c47821caea413b21ca&id=1dbc31c2f1&e=8a59f9ace8  \n\n\n\nWEBINAR PRESENTATIONS: \n\n\n\n🌱 The importance of characterizing seed longevity for seed bank curation: Study goals and design. Presented by Dr. Katie Heineman\, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance \n\n\n\n🌱 Assessment of viability and aging of seeds that have been stored for 20-30 years through the lens of classic viability assays and emerging techniques measuring RNA integrity and lipid thermal behavior. Presented by Lisa Hill\, Dr. Hannah Tetreault\, and Dr. Christina Walters\, USDA-ARS National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation \n\n\n\n🌱 Next steps and new frontiers: Predicting seed longevity at species and population levels and contributing factors\, such as life form and geographic traits.
