Greetings,
BGCI and our partners invite your valuable contribution to an online *Seed Conservation Knowledge Hub*! Initial activities in 2017 are focused on building a North American directory of facilities, individuals, and expertise related to all aspects of seed conservation of wild plants. We do plan to expand this into a global directory and welcome international participation as well. More details can be found at https://www.bgci.org/plant-conservation/scsg. Please complete the form at the link below – it only takes 7 minutes! The information you provide (apart from your contact information, unless specified) will be included in an online directory hosted by BGCI. You have until *March 31*, 2017 to become part of this exciting new seed conservation tool. *Visit **https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SeedDirectory2017* <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SeedDirectory2017>* to access the form. * Thank you for supporting the development of a resource that will benefit the broader seed conservation community.
