As community seed leaders, Seed Stewards are also encouraged to be involved with the distribution or sharing of seeds through seed libraries or exchanges. Seed Stewards will ensure their seeds are carefully grown, skillfully selected for saving, and securely stored. To participate in this program, Seed Stewards will commit to grow (or wildcraft), save, and share seeds within their community from at least one plant variety, including herbs, flowers, edible crops, ceremonial plants, wild natives, trees, and shrubs. We have created the Seed Stewards program to support and expand the efforts of seed savers in the Rocky Mountain West by providing them with resources, technical assistance, education, and networking opportunities. The Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance (RMSA) recognizes the fundamental role Seed Stewards play in accelerating this crucial shift. From starting community seed libraries to preserving precious heirlooms in backyard gardens, the efforts of these grassroots leaders are laying the foundation for community-based seed systems that can replace the unsustainable paradigm of industrial agriculture. Seed Stewards are a vital force in the burgeoning seed sovereignty movement. Seed saving is essential for ensuring that diverse and abundant supplies of regionally adapted seeds are securely maintained for the benefit of current and future generations. They may already be skillful seed savers or just beginning to learn about this ancient art and practice. Seed Stewards are individuals who are committed to preserving and sharing seed diversity.

The Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance is seeking gardeners and farmers to become Seed Stewards in their communities.
