Southeastern Center for Conservation

As a venue for coordination and collaboration, the Southeastern Center for Conservation enables the Garden's partner institutions to expand and better carry out their work. Through conservation of imperiled species and natural communities across the southeastern United States, Caribbean, and Ecuador, the center protects the natural heritage of one of North America’s most biodiverse regions.

Science and Research

The Southeastern Center for Conservation focuses on three core areas of study: habitat restoration research, biodiversity research, pollinator research and a conservation seed bank.
