This $733,965 cooperative agreement, awarded by the Bureau of Land Management under the Plant Conservation and Restoration Management program (CFDA 15.245), supports the University of Nevada, Reno in developing genetically appropriate native plant materials, implementing and assessing seed-based restoration techniques, and inventorying/monitoring rare plant species and their associated communities. The 5-year project aims to restore habitats, conserve biodiversity, and engage underserved communities in native plant production and ecological restoration efforts across the western United States. Key activities include collecting and banking native seeds, restoring Mojave Desert, Cosumnes River, and sagebrush ecosystems, and expanding public education on native plant communities.
