This project works to implement the US- BLM's Seeds of Success Program. It utilizes a Community Fellows Program to train local and at-risk youth in botanical and traditional practices and to introduce them to the potential for a career in the natural sciences. The majority of people employed in the project are Native Americans, and the focus of the project is native plant documentation and native seed collection for future grassland and bison restoration programs. 2022 was the final full year of the project under SER's management, with the majority of tasks implemented by Oregon State University. 166169 0 118219 Policy: SER contributes significantly to national and international policy actions through collaborations with such bodies as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration, and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. The SER/IUCN biennial global fora on restoration, for example, are helping define and guide high quality restoration across the world. SER members and board members serve on a variety of international advisory committees that also support the implementation and monitoring of ecological restoration. Through SER's Science and Policy Committee, SER chapters and global conferences, SER continues to bring increased attention to the importance of ecological restoration as a tool for addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges - e.g. climate change, biodiversity loss, water security, rural poverty - and continues to guide these bodies in incorporating restoration as a specific component within their activities and strategic plans. 134196 12723 320770 Membership: With more than 4,000 members in more than 100 countries, SER's global network represents the world's foremost source of scientific and practical expertise on the repair of degraded ecosystems.

SER members work in all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and represent governmental and nongovernmental organizations, private industry, consultancies, indigenous communities, students and more. Through this collective expertise, SER works to advance the field of ecological restoration by facilitating knowledge development and sharing among practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers. SER helps members and non- members alike share knowledge through trainings and workshops, conferences, publications, on-the-ground demonstration projects, virtual and in-person networking events, an online restoration resource center, and the world's only Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP) program. 1004593 0 227576 Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP) program: SER's Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP) program, launched in 2017, credentials restoration practitioners and practitioners in training who meet core knowledge and practice requirements.
