Description

Your gift of $25 will help protect one seed from one population of one species such as Sabatia kennedyana (Plymouth gentian) in Massachusetts. In New England, nearly 20 percent of our native plant species are at risk of disappearing in the wild. Seed-banking - collecting, processing, and storing seeds in a special repository - offers some insurance against their loss.
