Seed collecting in the Pyrenees (By Teresa Gil, European Partnership Officer)
Between the 27th August and the 5th September I have been involved in a seed collecting trip on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees with the team from the Botany Department of the “Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi” (San Sebastián). They manage the Basque Country Seed Bank. The team was formed of two botanists and two biology students. During the last two days, we were joined by three botanists from the Jardín Botánico Atlántico (Gijón) and the Jardín Botánico de Olarizu (Vitoria).
