[Finch, Deborah M -FS]

The Great Basin Native Plant Project is featured in a LiveScience article that came out today:  "To Prevent Another Dust Bowl, the US Must Sow the Right Seeds".  Click here to read it:  http://www.livescience.com/53574-if-wrong-seeds-planted-after-fires-us-could-face-modern-dust-bowl.html

It's a media summary of ideas about restoration, climate, drought, seed science, the national seed strategy, sagebrush ecosystems, fire, cheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, etc.  The Plant Conservation Alliance is discussed.  It was prepared as an accompaniment to the press release on the Forest Service drought assessment which it refers to.
