These efforts aim to restore ecosystems damaged by wildfires, invasive species and natural disasters but using area-specific seeds that are genetically adapted to local conditions.
Native seeds are critical to maintaining resilient landscapes that can withstand extreme weather and mitigate climate-related damage.
