CREW scientists in the Plant Research Division work to propagate and preserve threatened plants from across the United States. Our work contributes to Target 8 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation: “At least 75 percent of threatened plant species in ex-situ collections, preferably in the country of origin, and at least 20 percent available for recovery and restoration programs.” We work to conserve plants in our ex-situ collection, CREW’s CryoBioBank and to provide plants to restore populations in the wild.
