This role is critical for producing genetically suitable native plants supporting restoration projects across the region, including the Oregon Coast.

Collaboration with programs like Seeds of Success, the Coastal Native Seed Partnership, and the Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership ensures plants reach restoration sites.

- Provide expert horticultural and botanical guidance within the nursery program.
- Secure grant funding to support the nursery's activities.
- Develop and implement protocols to enhance plant quality and production efficiency.
