Eurobodalla Regional Seedbank

Propagation efforts at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens (ERBG) and delivery of tubestock for landscape restoration projects are limited by the availability of a reliable supply of seed. This project proposes to: *establish & equip a regional seed bank including a dedicated treatment & storage pod to house a diverse supply of local provenance seed stock*employ a suitably qualified officer to set up the seed bank & train volunteers in quality control & viability analysis techniques for a period of 3 years while the bank establishes*investigate the capacity of the ERBG & partner organisations to meet the increasing demand for local provenance stock & identify barriers to supplying greater diversity & quantities for revegetation
