Come hear speaker Zachary Wood, manager for the Georgia Native Seed Network and the State Botanical Garden’s grasslands coordinator, discuss the historical land use changes and examine evidence from historical documents, plant ecology, and grassland remnants to provide an understanding of Georgia’s past ecosystems and the importance of conserving its native landscapes.

This event is free, but registration is required.

About the Georgia Native Seed Network:

To restore Georgia’s land to its native plant communities, there is a critical need for locally adapted, genetically appropriate native seeds and plant materials.

The current supply is inadequate to meet the increasing demand for wildfire recovery and habitat restoration across various lands.

The Georgia State Botanical Garden is addressing this issue through strategic partnerships and is developing the Georgia Native Seed Network through collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Southeastern Grasslands Institute, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This network aims to produce local ecotype seeds and plant materials to meet restoration needs, support wildfire recovery, and bolster the native plant industry.
