<b>Ecoregional Revegetation Application (ERA</b>). ERA will provide a listing of native pollinator plant species for all Level III ecoregions in the continental U.S., along with data tables with species information such as flowering season, habitat preference,
flower color, benefitting pollinators, and commercial availability. Provisional seed zones will also be incorporated into the program as an independent data layer. See

as part of the newly released DRAFT update of <b>Roadside Revegetation – An Integrated Approach to Establishing Native Plants and Pollinator Habitat<span style="color:#1F497D"> (see link below)</span></b>. This update to the original 2007 FHWA report incorporates
guidance and resources for creating and maintaining favorable pollinator habitat in revegetation of roadsides. The approach and information in the report is also broadly applicable to revegetation activities outside the context of roadsides.

ecological function, affecting soil conservation, wildlife habitat, plant communities, invasive species, and water quality. Establishing locally-adapted, self-sustaining plant communities can also support transportation goals for safety and efficiency. Past
obstacles to establishing native plant communities on roadsides have been technical, informational, and organizational. Effective strategies and practical techniques for revegetating the disturbed conditions with limited resources must be made available to
practitioners. Multiple disciplines including engineering, soil science, ecology, botany, and wildlife science must work cooperatively and not in isolation. Roadsides play an important role in the conservation of declining wild pollinators and in supporting
the health of managed pollinators. Throughout the revegetation process, practitioners and designers can enhance roadsides to benefit pollinators. This report offers an integrated approach to facilitate the successful establishment of native plants and pollinator
habitats along roadsides and other areas of disturbance associated with road modifications. It guides readers through a comprehensive process of: 1) initiating, 2) planning, 3) implementing, and 4) monitoring a roadside revegetation project with native plants
and pollinator habitat. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

several species and sources with Elsberry PMC up until that point. We've released several other species and sources since that time, including several sedge species (Carex), and now working with a few native prairie shrubs, but they won't be represented in
this data base. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Stephen, you must be referring to the Audubon tool, as the NatiVeg tool doesn’t cover the western states. The Audubon tool is based on Biota of North America data, and the NatiVeg tool is based on NRCS Plant Materials data. In defense
of the NatiVeg tool, there is a disclaimer and a statement about seeking local recommendations. The tool could better serve restoration interests if it had better data, and I understand they would fully embrace expanding the database with local knowledge.
[I’m not involved with NatiVeg in any way, but I have talked to them about it.]<br>
<br>
I am currently working on a similar tool as an update to the maps and lists on the Native Seed Network, with place-based species lists and a directory of commercially available native seed, linked to seed vendors. It is challenging to provide good lists for
large geographic areas, and obviously it is really important to have input from local experts. I’m glad to see the level of interest in this, and look forward to tapping into the knowledge of local experts like yourselves to help me refine the lists on the
Native Seed Network.<o:p></o:p></p>
