Thank you to all participants who attended the ‘Conducting Ex Situ Gap Analysis for Conservation Metacollections Management Virtual Training Workshop’, earlier this month.

This webinar was made possible through an IMLS-grant funded project, ‘Growing Metacollections and Strengthening Gardens for a Conservation Consortia Future’, and was led by contributing member institutions including the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Morton Arboretum, Montgomery Botanical Center, the San Diego Botanical Garden & Botanic Gardens Conservation International-US (BGCI-US)

Designed for botanic gardens and arboreta already managing or considering managing a living conservation collection, the workshop trained participants on conducting ex situ gap analyses, a critical step in creating and managing conservation collections that contribute to a larger metacollection, especially for rare and imperiled species.
