  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this newsletter, we are excited to share our recent publication,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/70271329" data-mce-href="../publication/70271329"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Bridging theory and practice to inform seed selection for restoration&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, which is part of an ongoing collaborative effort with land managers and restoration practitioners to synthesize lessons learned and identify future research directions for native seed development and use in the U.S. We would also like to say thank you to Sarah Costanzo, who was instrumental to RAMPS field work for the past three years and is starting a PhD program in Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. As always, please reach out with questions or collaboration opportunities for research and restoration in the Southwest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
