UK Native Seed Hub
The UK Native Seed Hub (UKNSH) is a project of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership growing and distributing seeds of UK native plant species. It is in part a response to the 2010 report Making Space for Nature by Sir John Lawton. The project, located at Wakehurst Place, in West Sussex, in the High Weald of southern England (), is dedicated to enhancing the resilience and coherence of the UK's ecological networks by improving the quality, quantity, and diversity of UK seed species available for use in conservation, rehabilitation, and restoration projects.〔(Kew website )〕〔( "Restoring Native Plants in the UK: 5 Questions for Kew Scientist Michael Way" ), Encyclopedia Britannica Blog, 23 September 2011, accessed 23 August 2014〕〔("Kew launches native flowers project at Wakehurst Place" ), BBC News, Sussex, including 3:00 film clip, 17 August 2011, accessed 23 August 2014〕
The UKNSH makes available to conservation and restoration projects high quality Millennium Seed Bank seed collections, some of which are of species that are not available on the commercial seed market, and some are local provenance collections of species already available. As part of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the UKNSH is a nonprofit organization 〔(UKNSH License Agreement )〕 which provides seeds under a license agreement, ensuring use of the seed only for projects that directly support UK biodiversity and at a charge that only recoups the financial cost of recollection to replace seeds in the bank.〔
The provision of seed may be accompanied by technical training, advice and research that enable users of the seed and other commercial seed suppliers to improve the knowledge, use, and storage of native seed in the UK.〔(Kew consultancy )〕
==History==
In 2011 the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation gave £750,000 to the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew to establish the UKNSH as part of the foundation's 50th Birthday celebrations.〔(Esmée Fairbairn Foundation )〕 The funding was expected to establish the project over a period of four years.〔("Kew sets up 'UK seed hub' to restore wild flower meadows" ), Louise Gray, ''The Telegraph'', 2011〕 Production began at the Wakehurst place nursery in 2011. In 2012 seed production moved to the new production beds that are on display to the public at Wakehurst Place. Production focused on regenerating grassland species such as ''Campanula rotundifolia'' (harebell) and ''Genista tinctoria'' (dyer’s greenweed) from seed in the Millennium Seed Bank's collections. In May 2014 suitable seed from the Millennium Seed Bank’s collections were made available by the UKNSH seed online list, making it possible for legitimate conservation projects to request seed from the available UKNSH collections.
