Long live the seeds: Germination testing in a conservation seed bank
As a conservation seed bank that stores millions of seeds for research, restoration, and reintroduction, testing seeds to determine their long-term viability is a key part of our work. Learn how staff at the Mojave Desert Seed Bank preserve the most viable native seeds for the future, so they're available when the desert needs them most.

Preserving the night
