FAQ: How do I decide how many seeds to return to land managers who granted permission for me to collect seeds from the public property they manage?

[Center for Plant Conservation]

Abide by any agreements that were made prior to collection (when permission was initially given).

If the land manager desires to augment a declining wild population, CPC recommends beginning with a discussion to review the status of the species and the condition of the habitat before planning an augmentation. Agency staff (federal and/or state) may need to be consulted as well.

It may be necessary to increase the number of seeds via regeneration in a greenhouse before attempting to sow into the wild. See Part 1E, “Curating Small Samples: Increasing the Number of Seeds for Storage and Restoration.”
