Olivia - thank you for the post. If this quote is true from the
other article you also just posted:
"Roger Banner, a range specialist at Utah State University in Logan,
says native plants can't reclaim burned range on their own. "There's
not enough native plant seed to re-seed 2% of the areas that burned,"
he says."
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/environment/2007-08-29-cheatgrass_N.htm
then the importance and need for programs like "Seeds of Success"
seems to be stunningly understated and unappreciated (and I suspect
poorly funded). Will it even scratch the surface of the problem?
The program seems to fall far short of what is needed.
