With generous support from the Natural Resources Conservation Trust and Cassinia Environmental through the Victorian Government's BushBank program, Seeding Victoria is running a series of seed collection workshops in central and western Victoria.

The workshop will cover: 

• The nuts and bolts to seed collecting: You will learn species identification, what permits you need to obtain for collecting seed, OH&S, collection techniques, extraction and storage.

• Field Trip: We will have a look at the OH&S components of seed collecting, observing what’s flowering and what will be ready to collect in the coming months.

• There will be an opportunity to order seed-collecting equipment on the day.

• Learn about how the NRCT Seed Bank Revolving Fund works and how to obtain a discount for seed-collecting equipment.

• Introduction to the BushBank Program: How to get involved in collecting seed for the $30M Government program and access funding to undertake biodiversity planting on your property. 
  

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.

Bring along suitable clothing and footwear as a component of the workshop will be outdoors.
