SUMMARY:An Assessment of Native Seed Needs and the Capacity for Their Supply - December 17
DESCRIPTION:A 2023 report from the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine says the insufficient supply of seeds from native plants is a major barrier to ecological restoration and other revegetation projects across the United States. The report calls for concerted action to build a more robust native seed supply and industry\, especially as climate change increases the possibility of extreme weather events and wildfires that often damage natural areas. We will review findings and recommendations from the report\, as well as progress that has been made since the report release. \n\n\n\nThis presentation by Kay Havens\, Chicago Botanic Garden is part of the Monarch Conservation Webinar Series by Monarch Joint Venture.

SUMMARY:Updated Jan6! Creating a Native Seed Library in your Community - Williamson County Chapter Meeting\, January 9
DESCRIPTION:Jan 6 News!  Due to the weather forecast for Central Texas on Thursday evening\, this January 9 meeting will now be held only by Zoom and not in-person.  \n\n\n\nJoin NPSOT-Williamson County on Thursday\, January 9\, 2025\, when our featured topic will be “Creating a Native Seed Library in your Community” with Craig Bruska.  Free and open to the public. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting.  \n\n\n\nAbout our topic: Craig’s talk will discuss how to create a native seed library within your community. From building local buzz and getting your library to partner on the project to establishing scientific and common name indexes and creating needed documents\, as well as the benefits and the challenges. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: Craig has had a lifelong love of nature from visiting scores of National Parks across the country on family vacations. During his 40-year career in construction\, engineering\, and facilities he worked for eight years for the Lake County (IL) Forest Preserve District overseeing the maintenance and construction of over 100 miles of multi-use county wide trails in the 35\,000 acre preserve system. He oversaw the restoration over 1\,000 acres of wetlands by removing field tiles. His crews battled invasive species from European Buckthorn to Purple Loosestrife.  \n\n\n\nSince moving to Texas in 2019 and settling into New Braunfels in 2020 he has worked to learn the plants of the Blackland Prairie and Edwards Plateau. This includes attending various lectures and symposiums on Native Texas Plants. He has also completed the Native Plant Society of Texas – Native Landscaping Certification Program and is a Texas Master Naturalist. Craig has helped create native seed libraries in Comal\, Hays\, and Guadalupe counties and is working on adding two more. He is also the NPSOT State Chair of the Native Seed Committee. \n\n\n\nJan 6 News!  Due to the weather forecast for Central Texas on Thursday evening\, this January 9 meeting will now be held only by Zoom and not in-person.    NOTE: this month’s in-person location is the Georgetown Public Library\, 2nd Floor\, 402 W 8th St\, Georgetown\, Texas 78626.  Come early (6:30 PM) for expert advice\, to check out the seed swap board\, or just to visit. \n\n\n\nThe link to register for Zoom is below. \n\n\n\nThe original meeting announcement is here on the Williamson County Chapter’s blog page.
