Plant Conservation and Restoration Management

This Program was created in response to large-scale wildfires in the Western US. Due to lack of native seed in 2001 Congress directed the BLM to establish a native plant material program recommending that federal and non-federal partners coordinate efforts through the Plant Conservation Alliance established in 1994. BLM provides leadership in identifying, maintaining, and restoring Western native plant communities on public lands. Public lands contain a diversity of native plant communities comprised of over 50 ecoregions across public lands. In the future, BLM will continue to work with partners to focus on increasing the diversity of locally adapted forbs and grasses for restoration of wildlife habitat and rehabilitation after wildfires.
