[PCA] How many jobs & what value native plants?

[De Angelis, Patricia]

Hi again!

I got some really great info from a variety of folks on this list - thanks
again!

A few folks asked me to share the info back out. This listserve doesn't
support a large number of attachments, so attached is a screen shot of the
publications that folks suggested to me and below are links to a few of
them.

I also learned some new terms (at least, new to me): “Ecological
Restoration Economy” or “Rural Restoration Economy”

These terms rightly encompass more than just the value of jobs or growers,
or the supply chain or sales, but also the restoration ecologists,
equipment operators, field workers, monitoring, seed labs, researchers,
seed co-ops, etc.

Some links:
