* The BLM Regional Seed Warehouse system is for agency use only and financial instruments would need to be developed to obtain seed from the warehouse. However, the public can obtain the seed testing samples which can equal to a pound or more of PLS seed. Please contact Derek Conn to request those samples (dconn@blm.gov or 208-384-3277).

**Check websites for dates/times/availability ***They have local native wildflower seed mixes available or they can have one of the local nurseries (for example Plants of the Wild) mix them.

New and On-line Tools for Seed Selection

Native Seed Network (Directory of native plant nurseries and producers) https://nativeseednetwork.org/

The Native Seed Network connects people and organizations involved with all aspects of native seed, from collection, development, production, and use in restoration. Vision is for restoration and rehabilitation projects to be supported by an abundance of quality seed that is both appropriate for the site and affordable.

TRM Seed Zone Mapper (Desktop and mobile apps that help visualize various seed zone layers including Provisional Seed Zones, Ecoregions Level III, PSZ General basin grass/forb, Empirical seeds zones for various species) https://www.fs.fed.us/wwetac/threat-map/TRMSeedZoneMapper.php

This site allows end-users to view and acquire data on seed zones for use in plant material development, gene conservation and native plant restoration activities. Users can also evaluate seed zones in relation to other map services and wildland threats published by WWETAC such as climate change projections or wildfire risk. You can even upload your own points.

Ecoregional Revegetation Application (Species selection tool that generates a list of species by ecoregion. Focuses on “workhorse’ plants, restoration plants, pollinator plants) http://www.nativerevegetation.org/era/

The ERA Tool is a map-based, searchable application to select native plants for restoration and pollinator habitat enhancement by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Level III Ecoregions. Since ecoregions are areas of similar climate and topography that contain characteristic, geographically distinct assemblages of natural communities and species, they are an ideal organizing unit for selecting plants for restoration. State floras, on the other hand, have many species that only occur in some ecoregions and are not appropriate choices for restoration elsewhere.

“Climate Smart” Seedlot Selection Tool (Identifies locations from which seeds may be moved to new sites to match current or future climate scenarios) https://seedlotselectiontool.org/sst/

The Seedlot Selection Tool (SST) is a GIS mapping program designed to help forest managers match seedlots with planting sites based on climatic information. The climates of the planting sites can be chosen to represent current climates, or future climates based on selected climate change scenarios.

Seed Selector (Matches climate of seed accession to planting locations) https://seedmapper.shinyapps.io/seed_selector/

The purpose of this app is to aid seed selection efforts of restoration and revegetation practitioners by matching the climate of georeferenced seed sources to potential target sites.
