EXHIBIT_M_-_Species_List_for_Range_Seed.pdf

This document is an exhibit containing a species list for range seed procurement, specifying native grass and forb species approved for use in the Blacklands, Cross Timbers, and Edwards Plateau regions. The seeding specification includes thirteen grass species and seven forb species, each with designated seeding rates measured in pounds per acre (#/ac). Grass species comprise the primary component, ranging from Blackwell Switchgrass at 1.35 #/ac down to Purple Threeawn and Shortspike Windmillgrass at 0.10 #/ac each. Forb species seeding rates vary from 0.10 #/ac (Blazing Star Gayfeather) to 0.50 #/ac (Illinois Bundleflower, Maximilian Sunflower, and White Clover).

Two approved seed suppliers are identified: Turner Seed, operated by Luke Turner (luke@turnerseed.com, 800-722-8616), and Native American Seed Company located in Junction, Texas (https://www.seedsource.com/). The document references a specific pre-formulated product available through Native American Seed Company—the Blackland Prairie Mix—which appears to be a commercial seed blend specifically designed for the identified geographic regions and available through their product catalog. This exhibit serves as a reference specification for contractors or procurement officers requiring compliant native seed sourcing for rangeland restoration or management projects in Texas.
