Join the Prairie Conservation Action Plan (PCAP) for a fall webinar with Renny W. Grilz on Nov 21. The talk title is "Growing Canada’s Native Seed Industry: Insights from a Nuffield Canada Scholar’s European Journey".

Speaker: Renny W. Grilz, P.Ag. 2024 Nuffield Canada Contemporary Scholar Blazing Star Wildflower Seed Company

Abstract: In the summer of 2024, Renny Grilz embarked on a six-week journey across Europe as part of his Nuffield Canada Agricultural Scholarship, exploring the native seed industry and innovative habitat restoration practices. He engaged with a wide range of restoration methodologies, including rewilding, meadow-making, woodland meadows, and urban naturalization projects, while visiting native seed producers to learn about wild harvesting, provenance tracking, and large-scale seed production. Renny will share insights from successful European initiatives, such as the EU’s Natural Restoration Law and England’s Biodiversity Net Gain program, and explore how these practices can inspire growth in the Canadian native seed industry, with the goal of expanding its role in habitat restoration and biodiversity conservation.
