The Dixon National Tallgrass Prairie Seed Bank collection priority is reflected in our Restoration Species target list, comprising 545 species of vascular plants characteristic of native habitats in the tallgrass prairie region. The goal is to collect seeds of each species from one population in each of the 12 ecoregions represented in the tallgrass prairie. We are looking for botanists throughout the Midwest and Great Plains to help us reach our goal! A stipend will be awarded for each collection on the target list made on our behalf and we also cover shipping costs. Our Restoration Collection target species lists have been recently updated for the 2013 collecting season. Please contact us for more information.
