Science & conservation - sdbg's science & conservation programs work to conserve threatened plants and habitats, including san diego's native flora as well as rare plants from around the world.

The work of the programming continues in ever more ambitious and urgent forms. The science and conservation department collaborates with community, nonprofit, academic, government and industry partners to maximize a combined impact. Major activities include conservation horticulture, seed banking, rare plant and habitat surveying, monitoring and collecting, characterizing, evaluating and distributing useful plants, environmental restoration, conservation planning and science outreach and education.
