How to introduce Sefra Alexandra, "the Seed Huntress"? She's an agroecological educator with a masters degree from Cornell University and she's worked as an ethnobotanist all around the world, including in her home town of Southport, Connecticut. Sefra's a "BOATanist" who plants seed-grown natives along riparian corridors by canoe, and she's a member of The Explorers Club. Currently Sefra is also the coordinator of the Northeast Organic Farming Association's program to restore pollinator habitat, the EcoType Project. For this project she's supervising and assisting in the sustainable collection of wild type, locally adapted seed, and facilitating their cultivation so that these plants' seeds can be harvested, processed, and delivered to local nurseries to be grown on and returned to the wild or gardens. A Seed Huntress, it appears, is a person of many skills.
