The National Native Seed Conference (NNSC) aims to connect Research, Industry, Land Management, and Restoration professionals dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and sustainable use of native plants and their seeds. The NNSC serves as a critical platform for sharing knowledge, advancing research, and fostering collaboration among those passionate about native seed initiatives and policies.
We understand that conferences can be cost prohibitive for many people.
