This grant is for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to enhance the conservation and management of natural resources within California. Its primary purpose is to facilitate strategic native seed collection and plant material production for land restoration, assessment, and monitoring. The BLM seeks to engage experienced botanists to collaborate with its district and field personnel, ensuring high-quality, efficient, and consistent seed collection that complements the Seeds of Success program. This initiative will also support identifying suitable plant materials for propagation, developing essential production skills, and ultimately providing genetically appropriate seeds and plants for successful restoration projects across BLM-managed lands.
