Membership

Do you curate a seed bank, collect wild seeds in the field, use seeds in a restoration program, conduct research on seed biology, or have related experience? If your work happens in the context of species conservation or ecosystem restoration, you could become a member of the SCSG. We welcome all levels of expertise, from senior program directors to students at any level - anyone with a passion for conserving native seeds.

Members of the SCSG are also members of the IUCN Species Survival Commission, which grants them access to a network of over 10,000 volunteer experts and numerous shared resources.

Membership is by invitation. If interested in joining SCSG, please review the SCSG Terms of Reference, then contact the SCSG Co-Chairs at iucn-scsg@outlook.com to apply for membership. Attach a brief CV, summary of your seed conservation expertise, or statement of interest in joining the SCSG.
