Innovation through partnership: Mt. Cuba Center integrates conservation horticulture practices to produce plant materials used for in situ augmentation projects conducted by external partners

Conservation horticultural practices serve as critical research on propagation methods and lead to valuable production output for in situ conservation efforts. Mt. Cuba Center has engaged in propagation research programs for an array of state rare, federally listed, or globally rare taxa over the years. We highlight goals and outcomes of current projects with state, local, and federal partners working in the eastern temperate forest.
