From plant at plantconservation.org Mon Dec 10 07:58:05 2018 From: plant at plantconservation.org (plant at plantconservation.org) Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 07:58:05 -0600 Subject: [MPWG] Release: "Making Progress", the first progress report on The National Seed Strategy Message-ID: <20181210075805.Horde.f9aeumd8MFmdjTFKfa9yMNt@www.plantconservation.org> The Plant Conservation Alliance is pleased to announce the release the first Progress Report on The National Seed Strategy, Making Progress. Online copies can be found at PlantConservationAlliance.org/Resources and blm.gov/SeedStrategy The National Seed Strategy fosters interagency collaboration to guide the development, availability, and use of seed needed for timely and effective restoration. Success on a national scale will be achieved through coordinated nationwide networks of native seed collectors, farmers and growers working to develop seed, nurseries and seed storage facilities to supply adequate quantities of appropriate seed, and restoration ecologists who know how to put the right seed in the right place at the right time. Making Progress is a collection of these collaborative efforts and successes. This document highlights over 160 projects and the work being done to address each goal of the Seed Strategy, followed by ecoregional projects that illustrate the extent of collaborations that are underway to lay the foundation for a more comprehensive network of collectors, testers, and growers to make native plants more available across the country. The Strategy and Making Progress was developed through the Plant Conservation Alliance including the Federal Committee, chaired by the Bureau of Land Management with representatives from 12 federal agencies: Department of the Interior (BLM, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey and the National Park Service); Department of Agriculture (Agricultural Research Service, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and U.S. Forest Service); Department of Transportation (Federal Highway Administration); the Smithsonian Institution; the U.S. Botanic Garden; as well as over 370 partners within the Non-Federal Committee, chaired by Chicago Botanic Garden.
