Developed by US collaborators of the Global Conservation Consortium for Oak, this document is intended to serve as a guide for those establishing, managing, and/or supporting the development of a metacollection site(s) for one or more priority oak species. It is a dynamic document, with updates made as new information becomes available. The document provides information for developing metacollections for oaks native to the US, but we hope this approach will be applicable in other regions.
Botanic Gardens Conservation International’s work aims to promote and develop a more efficient, cost effective and rational approach to plant conservation in botanic gardens. We will do this by leading and advocating, leading innovative and strategic projects, building plant conservation capacity, and providing funding.
