- assess equipment and training needs across Canada;
- incorporate Indigenous knowledge into seed collecting, training and conservation efforts;
- collaborate with communities and Indigenous-led small and medium-sized enterprises to identify technical and training needs;
- co-develop a strategy with Indigenous communities to support the collection of species of interest for habitat creation, management of species at risk, restoration of ecosystems and community forest programs; and
- develop a network of community participants to assist in seed collection and processing.
