Now I understand that it's not really about preserving books and seeds, but rather more holistic.
And please, wherein lies the Saskatchewan connection? If the border issues/restrictions, especially involving germplasm, remain in place between our countries, then are you duplicating holdings on both sides so as to bypass this? Under whose aegis here is the vault?
Thanks once again.

Baby steps Jennifer. It's in the planning stages. The three sites mentioned were chosen do to geologic history: bedrock composition, soil types, hydrology, uplift, sinking, etc. When it comes time to expand to Saskatchewan a sister organization will file papers for recognition in Canada. Germplasm, NO. I'm not trained in that field. Seeds, having owned a nursery and seed-raising 85% of my stock--that I know. I'll stick with what I know. It's safer.
