[PCA] FW: NEWS: NatiVeg Plant Selection Tool

[Marcum, Paul Brent]

I agree, Johnny.  This could be such a great resource but they just do not get it.

I tested NatiVeg on an area in east-central Illinois.  All cultivars, many from well outside of our area.  Sure these nativars are interesting because they have atypical colors or flower forms but they do not belong in our restorations.

Interesting – I tested the NatiVeg link for a forb in my Piedmont NC area and it gave me a Helianthus species CULTIVAR introduced from the Western US. I am not impressed.

National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative Releases Online Tool to Aid Native Plant Selection

NatiVeg (www.quailcount.org/NatiVeg<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.quailcount.org_NatiVeg&d=DQMGaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=3tLWYezw2zDniF8rKNlm-9lMokj5SDP4jXYqzekV924&m=Vvh8NrIx3knlX-NhvzZ39bUvYjZOStjFoJtjYXvY6BA&s=3DfkSS_8SKaMWFhEOEd6F1SeNZiZ1KDunib0aPzV12U&e=>) is a remote, Internet-based tool that works on desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Developed by NBCI and University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture Information Technology Service and beta-tested by a variety of outside reviewers, NatiVeg is a database that, within the 25-state  initiative’s range (mid-west and southeast), delivers the proper native plant choices for a specific location and the user’s specific purposes, whether wildlife, forage, biomass, pollinators, critical area planting, restoration or soil conservation.
