You have received an invitation to complete the Native Plant Demonstration Site Network Survey due to your interest in conserving native plant species and native plant communities. In order to achieve objectives set forth by the National Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation
and Restoration, please share details regarding the demonstration of native plants at your organization. <br>
<br>
This survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. <br>
<br>
When completing this survey, you are helping to connect land managers by facilitating the sharing of best practice methods for the conversion of land into native displays. The network will also be used to educate the public of the need for native plant materials
and where their use can be demonstrated. By entering your site information, you are agreeing to allow your native plant demonstration site to be included in the forthcoming Native Plant Demonstration Site Network Database. <br>
<br>
We appreciate your input and interest in furthering the progression of the National Seed Strategy. <br>
<u>Please feel free to forward this survey to other organizations who also manage native plant displays. </u><br>
