Seed Resilience Survey
The aim of this survey is to identify gaps, issues and opportunities in the collection of native seed in Tasmania. One of the outcomes will be to establish a communication framework for interested parties to communicate and self-organize the distribution of native seed.
Landcare’s approach to environment and sustainability issues is ‘bottom up’, with the community taking ownership of the problem and being actively involved in the solutions. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey, your input will help us to improve the collection and distribution of native seeds in Tasmania.
